Last July, the residents of <br />Eagle Pass Cottages submitted to you a petition including a request for added street lighting on <br />streets in the first Eagle Pass addition. Now that new streets are to be developed and new light <br />will be installed on those streets in the second addition to Eagle Pass, we would like to request <br />that six additional streetlights also be installed at the same time in locations that will help prevent <br />potential accidents. <br /> <br />We remind you that many of the residents of Centerville who drive these streets are elderly, and <br />that the strce5 ts are curved in unusual and severe ways, and that the present lighting does not <br />provide adequate light when the curves in the streets prevent automobile headlights from <br />properly lighting many pOliions of the streets. A driver's response to a situation where a <br />pedestlian or bike might present itself suddenly in one of these many locations COLlid easily be <br />fatal. 'vVe suggest that you drive these streets after dark to see just how dangerous they really are. <br /> <br />An amateur study of the lighting needs seems to indicate that new street ligllts in the following <br />locations would solve this problem, bLlt perhaps the City engineer could be directed to conduct a <br />more professional study. The locations we have idcntified are approximately as follows: <br /> <br />~ 7018 Dupre Road <br />" 7057 Duprc Road <br />" 7077 Dupre Road <br />~ 1857 Pioneer Lane <br />,>> 6989 Eagle Trail <br />@ about 100 feet North of the NvI,T corner of Dupre Road and Voyager Court <br /> <br /> <br />,:> ",'Lc_:':': '. <br /> <br />,\.!~i'-if jc:-\;:~ <br /> <br />:"jiii'\~i\jc-3~_, c~:-~~ ~d <br /> <br />'c:<-^_:.::"::';::,"' -__ <br />
