<br />Re.- Oakcrest and Aldine Proposal for Pathway to on, for the October 19th Council
<br />Work Session
<br />lunderstand there is to be a 'work session" on the above subject Monday, October 1,9th,, at 31-NOO PI.M. So
<br />that we can be prepared for' questions from the msidents, I would, appreciate It if the Community
<br />Development Department , perha�ps, with Mr. Shardlow or one of his associates involved,, would come
<br />prepared to answer the following questions. I have been busy canvassing the neighborhood on an
<br />interest in a, pathway, and north of Oakcrest there is good support for the idea. I have over 70 signed
<br />requests-% and I still have Rose Place and Oakcrest to survey.
<br />In the hope that we who want the path will be taken seriously at that meeting, I think it prudent to know
<br />what the practical englincering, solutions would be for-.
<br />A walkway only
<br />A bike path and a %alk-way
<br />Could 'it be made usable for the handicapped?,
<br />How wide should each of the above paths be?
<br />What about the small mound just on the south side of the fence? Can something be done
<br />with that to, lievel, it out ? Or would steps be the only practical solution?
<br />Since the bus service stops, up at Carsons, can additional pedestrian ways be created?
<br />AMP What bus service is available at Rose"e? I Me schedules available?
<br />--What would be some rough solutions and their costs if' the path stam at Oakcrest and Aldine
<br />on to Canons at Rosedale?' What about the ponding, area .9 Is that really a practical
<br />al,temat,iive, even though it would be less convenient for those residents east of Herschel?
<br />How would you build a path through the ponding area? A bridge? at albolut safety
<br />factors when the pond fills up?
<br />What I'm asking we, do is have some unbiased, professional advice as to what, mak,cs the most sense
<br />should we go ahead and try a pathway. Having had these questions explored and tentatively looked at
<br />should go a, long way toward being able to, make some informed, decisions. Without it,, well be grop'ing, in
<br />the dark, just expressing our wishes, without knowing, if its practical to go, ahead, and ho►. ,
<br />Sincerely,
<br />6Lt A"aUwe
