<br />MR. LYMAN DALE: I'd even give up a couple feet more of my <br />yard to get a sidewalk there because I use the lawn. On <br />Sunday mornings I walk up and get a paper and I walk on the <br />south side of the street where there's that boulevard and I <br />walk up on the grass. I can't believe - because one side <br />is not going to be parking - that the other side is going to <br />give you a walking space. I wouldn't let my kids walk on that <br />street. I would really like to see some consideration. Also, <br />about mid-way down in front of my house, if you'd put a public <br />trash can there for Burger King (inaudible). The other thing <br />is between Marion and Galtier - if we get a really heavy rain - <br />there's a real wash of water that comes down there and backs <br />up onto the street now. There's a sewer there right now, but <br />it over-does it. It's not adequately open or something. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: And that's between Marion and Galtier? <br /> <br />MR. DALE: Yes. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: You're talking about the common backyard <br /> <br />lot? <br /> <br />MR. DALE: Yes, right between those two yards - when it <br />comes down that hill. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: What we'll do - we'll take your comment <br />and if there is a storm drainage facility - which you're <br />saying there is - we'll look at the possibility of trying to <br />make that redesigned in a way that will take more water. <br /> <br />MR. DALE: Okay, but the sidewalk is my big concern <br />because I've got kids that I know are going to walk up there. <br />There's a bus stop up there too on Rice Street and there's a <br />lot of traffic. <br /> <br />ACTING MAYOR JOHNSON: We can't really deal with that <br />sidewalk issue this evening but it will be an issue that will <br />come up as part of the bike path study I'm sure. We'll take <br />your comments under advisement then. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: Just a minute - we can do sidewalks <br />(inaudible) . <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: We can do it. As I say, the only reason <br />we didn't include it here is oecause of the fact that it <br />wasn't on at least the recommended pathway. <br /> <br />MA~OR DEMOS: We're not talking about a bike path. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: But that's what the pathway committee <br />dealt with. <br /> <br />MR. LYMAN DALE: No, that's not right, because I even <br />heard that the state will take this up along with the street <br />improvement. This is a no-charge. <br /> <br />-7- <br />
