neighbors use this ROW for outdoor storage or dumping leaves. Most have fences that <br />buffer them from the ROW, although the end property at Mid Oaks/Roselawn extended <br />the fence into the middle of the public ROW back in the 80s/90s <br />I'm writing today to ask the City Council to direct the City staff to explore what it might <br />take to retain or make a permanent trail/sidewalk through the easement known as area V <br />(the extension of Aldine Street from Aldine/Ryan intersection to Roselawn). I believe this <br />trail would support your current Strategic Plan priorities related to environmental <br />sustainability, pedestrian connectivity and inclusivity. The City has owned this ROW for <br />decades. Affording more time to explore a permanent trail solution through it would be <br />prudent. Lastly, I recognize the old farmhouse uses the ROW to access their garage. I'm <br />confident there's an option for the City and the homeowner to work around a trail. <br />https://share.icloud.com/photos/0efm9Mm3Gu11kKDgaudZ4HXuw <br />Lastly, as far as the neighborhood, I have no concerns about the vacation of ROW for <br />Area U and W. The extra area surrounding the existing sidewalks can be given to the <br />neighbors as they are maintaining them anyway. I envision a similar solution could be <br />created for the Aldine extension. These trails are such an amenity to the neighborhoods <br />and kids walking to Brimhall Elementary for school. I would imagine some also use this <br />Aldine ROW to walk to school or baseball practice at Evergreen Park. <br />I plan to be at the meeting tonight to make a similar request, but wanted to share the <br />video if you haven't walked this stretch yet. <br />Kevin <br />Qbhf!44!pg!464 <br /> <br />
