<br />. <br /> <br />by any means and we have noticed that there have been no instances <br />where the truck traffic serving our facility has benefited in any <br />way by the addition of extending Grey Fox to Lexington Avenue. <br />Most all of our traffic originates from the freeway systems and <br />we currently have no traffic coming north on Lexington Avenue <br />into our facility via Grey Fox Road. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: Anything further? Any comments from the <br />Council? <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN MULCAHY: Would it be appropriate to note for <br />the record that Grey Fox Road may be having a particular problem <br />now these days because of the closing of Lexington Avenue at this <br />time. We couldn't get a good traffic count now, I'm sure, if <br />that's the case, and in view of that through traffic referred to, <br />would not be normal. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: <br />(inaudible). <br /> <br />(Inaudible) increase in local traffic. <br /> <br />MR. TIMOTHY TYSON: Speaking for myself, once I know that <br />that shortcut is there, westbound on 694, I would bypass the stop- <br />lights rather regularly, even when the road is completed, to gain <br />access to westbound 694 or north 35-W without going through the <br />stoplights on 694 and Lexington Avenue. Even when Lexington <br />Avenue is complete, there is a shortcut onto the freeway system <br />without going through the intersection - westbound on 694 <br />(inaudible).

CLIFFORD LUND: Start by coming from the south. . <br /> <br />MR. TYSON: Coming north on Lexington or from south of our <br />facilities. <br /> <br />MR. LUND: (Inaudible) bypass two stop signs. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: (Inaudible) although generally I'd be on <br />that other highway to begin with rather than starting on Lexington. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN JOHNSON: Cliff, what is the (inaudible)? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. LUND: When they put the storm sewer in on Grey Fox <br />Road, that's the way the easement went - not easement, but they <br />had fee title - to Grey Fox Road and that little (inaudible) that <br />goes back up there. So it belongs to the state. It's an open <br />ditch right now, all green and full of trees and whatever. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: Mr. Christoffersen, are you familiar with <br />that? <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: Yes, and Mr. Lund's correct. That <br />was originally obtained for ditch and culvert drainage. Appar- <br />ently the drainage does occupy part of it.
