�� 1 ot 1 _ � r � , � �, �+ ' +,..�, •�� ,��_��•�,� • . � � < � � r Thanks for bringing this up. It's important to our neighborhood, and I haven't heard anything about it for at least 6 months. I was hoping Frank Pafco's leaving his position at the state, togetherwith a year's experience with the northbound access to our neighborhood at Sneling and Oakcrest that's working beautifully, would have caused the State to reconsiderit's position. No such luck. f fail to see why forcing us to proceed to "C" and making a U-tum at this busiest intersection in the City is better than the current solution we now have—a northbound access to our neighborhood at Oakcrest. I ask City traffic engineers if they concurwith the State that going to C and making a U tum there is betterthan what we have. I think what we have is working great! I see no problem with it. I ask the City Council to re- engage the state authorities on this issue. I suspect a practical decision is being sacrificed to turf wars and hurt feelings. As a minimum, we need to presewe the ability of emergency vehicles to access our neighbort�rrx�c� from the Sneilir�g/Oakcrest location, so they can get to the Sunrise nursing home timely. Inability of emergency vehicles to use the quickestroute would be a disaster. I understand the sports gym is planning to sell it's property and move to a new location. They cannot survive with restricted access Also, the Bingo operation needs to be relieved of it's obligation to keep signage that directs it's patrons to right tum only. Theircustomers will need to tum left (west) on 4akcrest and proceed to Fairvie+nr for north travel. The City has proposed 6 alternative possibilities, but I understand that they are not all financially feasible. The City needs to determine what is financially feasible, and only offer several options to the residents. ! suggest only one Faiwiew option, the best by staffs judgment, and of course the C at Herschel option. And then let the neighborhood choose which, if any, they want. I don't think we know at this point what we can do financially, and whatthe neighborhoodwants. � �� Sunday, February 26,2006 America Online: �SANDS2612
