Resident Comments/Concerns At the neigh�orhood meeting, several commen�s anc� �o�cerns �vere raised by the res�dents. The most common were concerned With street �vidth, parking, drainage, and assessments. Resldents expressed concerns abaut speeding and through traffic on Valentine Avenue. In respa�se to �hese cancerns, the feasibilit� repor� also provides an option for a 24 foo� wide road. However, �h�s design would not a�Iow the City to use State Aid funds on this �roj ect. Residents had mixed responses abou� t�e need for on-street parking; many did not have concerns, while others would Iike to see on-stree� parking available at aIl tir�es after t�e project is complete. The Lake Johanna Fire Dep�rtme�t has expressed concerns about narrow streets, and have requested that streets �ess than 26 feet wide be posted no parking at a11 times to ensure emergency vehic�e access to properties. Residents throughout the neighborhood expressed �peeif c drainage concerns. The project team w�Il work individually with �hese resi�ents during fnal design. Many reside�ts were also concerned about the tim�ng of this proposed assessment, giv�n the eurrent state of the economy. These concerns are similar to those that were heard during the proEes� for the 2Qa9 PMP. As was aur experience during the 2009 construetion season, street projec�s b�ds are extre�nely campeti�ive, providing both the City and the residents with cos� savings. If b�ds are more expensive than es��mated, they can be rejec�ed.
