The <br />definition I found is: <br /> <br />"The Collector Street collects traffic from local streets in residential and industrial/commercial <br />areas and channels it into the Arterial Roadway System (I.e. State and County roadways)" <br /> <br />By this definition I would say that indeed Mill Road Is a collector street. That being said, my <br />understanding from the research that I have done, Is that the "responsibility for collector streets <br />usually falls to the local government and developers for funding, design and construction." <br /> <br />Meaning, all future maintainence and construction (I.e. bike trails, road work) cannot be <br />assessed to the property owners on the collector street but Is paid for by the City as a whole. <br /> <br />I have also found several cities with similar populations where it states in their Assessment <br />Policy, "Bituminous walkways or bicycle trails to be Installed as part of the City Comprehensive <br />Plan will NOT be assessed, but rather funded 100% by the City." Our Assessment Policy is <br />outdated with a revision date of 1989 and does not address a Comprehensive Plan at all. <br /> <br />I for one, am concerned that the people on Mill Road will pay for this street several <br />times because of the sheer volume of people using It and feel that If EVERYONE uses it, everyone <br />should pay for it. <br /> <br />I would appreciate you researching this issue further as I believe It is a valid concern. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Melody Meath <br /> <br />This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Emall Security System. <br />For more information please visit http://www.messagelabs.com/emall <br /> <br />5/9/2008 <br />
