I'm disappointed <br />at the continuing animosity(1 had just moved into the neighborhood during the last go-round), but it <br />seems that the intensity has lessened somewhat. Anyway, you took your lumps graciously, as I'm <br />_e you realize that not everyone feels that the best traffic calming measure is a dilapidated road. <br /> <br />One of my duties here at the University is determining street repair and reconstruction, and I can <br />understand the difficulty you face in explaining all the factors that make up the decision to repair or <br />reconstruct. That task is made harder still by policy issues, e.g., the "neighborhood approach" to road <br />work. "Worst first" has an undeniable common-sense appeal that's hard to beat, so I think the City's <br />task remains convincing its citizens that the "neighborhood" approach is flexible enough to <br />accommodate truly neighborhood concerns. <br /> <br />I plan on talking up th~ possibilities to my neighbors, in the hopes that we can get a project done that <br />enha~ces both the neighborhood and the larger community. I'm especially enthusiastic about closing <br />Hamhne north of Ingerson, and returning a paved area to a natural state. I'd also like to see <br />Inge~son's widt~ .red~ce? to 26', as I think one could make a pretty good case that the lowest <br />fun~tlonal claSSification IS perfectly adequate for its ADT and use. The water quality issues you raised <br />are I~portan~ ones, and I would hope that the Watershed District will be an important partner to the <br />City In explonng the best possible solutions. I look forward to exploring and expanding the discussion. <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Steve Sanders <br />.9 Ingerson Rd. <br />..746.0765 <br /> <br />p.s. <br />I reviewed URS' stadium proposal, and was glad to see your name attached to the project. <br />=================================================================== <br />Steve Sanders <br />EXBcutivp.
