<br />THIS STRETCH Of ROAD IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ANTICIPATED 19TH TO 29TH TO
<br />BLOOMBERG fREEWAY AND RELIEf Of CONDITIONS ON IT SHOULD NOT BE RELATED TO fREE-
<br />WAY COMPLETION. THE ONLY REAL SOLUTION IS THE PAVING AND WIDENING Of THIS
<br />Of TH I S "STRETCH Of ROAD. UNT I L' TH I S CAN BE DONE WE URGE THE fOLLOW I NG TEMPORARY
<br />MEASURES:
<br />
<br />I. SOME KIND Of SIDEWALK fROM 30TH TO SUNSET HOME.
<br />GRAVEL WALK WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS BOON.
<br />
<br />EVEN A GRADED
<br />
<br />2. SUBSTANTIAL REPAIRS TO THE EDGES Of THE ROAD TO RESTORE NORMAL
<br />2 LANE WIDTH, ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 29TH AND 32ND NORTHBOUND, AND
<br />34TH TO 35TH SOUTHBOUND."
<br />
<br />ALSO PRESENTED AND READ AS fOLLOWS WAS A',lETTER ATTACHED TO THE ABOVE PETITION:
<br />
<br />"ENCLOSED IS A PETITION RELATIVE TO A SIDEWALK EXTENSION ON HILYARD STREET
<br />BETWEEN 30TH AND 35TH, WITH IMPROVEMENT Of THE STREET IN THE SAME STRETCH. THE
<br />NUMBER Of SIGNATURES WAS LIMITED ONLY BY MY TIME fOR GETTING THEM. PEOPLE WERE
<br />EAGER TO SIGN.' I.. SHOULD CONVEY THE DOMINANT EXPRESSIONS Of THE SIGNEES:
<br />
<br />I. CONSTERNATION, EVEN DISBELIEf, AT THE NEWS THAT HILYARD IS NOT DESTINED
<br />TO BE WIDENED AND PAVED AT ANY SPECIfiED TIME. ONE PROPERTY OWNER ON HILYARD
<br />WAS OPPOSED TO PAVING BECAUSE Of THE COST;-- ANOTHER WOULD NOT BE HAPPY TO HAVE
<br />A SIDEWALK EXTENDED TO 39TH If IT HAD TO CROSS HER PROPERTY AND CUT UP HER LAWN.
<br />MANY HOMEOWNERS IN THE AREA WERE ASSURED THAT THIS PROJECT WAS ON THE CITY'S
<br />TIMETABLE WHEN THEY BOUGHT OUT HERE. THE PRESENCE Of SURVEYING TEAMS LAST
<br />WINTER CONfiRMED THEIR EXPECTATIONS.
<br />
<br />2. A TREMENDOUS CONCERN OVER THE SUNSET HOME OCCUPANTS, UNPREDICTABLE
<br />PEDESTRIANS AT BEST.
<br />
<br />3. THE QUESTION - WHY SIDEWALKS ONLY TO 35TH? --
<br />
<br />ITEM I. PARTIALLY ANSWERS THE OBVIOUS QUESTION - WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE COM-
<br />PLAINING? THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE GETTING INTO. THE REST OF THE ANSWER TO
<br />THAT QUESTION LIES IN THE PHENOMENALLY RAPID DETERIORATION Of HILYARD OVER THE
<br />PAST TWO WINTERS.
<br />
<br />ONE fURTHER OBSERVATION! THE PETITION ASKS fOR A SIDEWALK fROM 30TH TO
<br />35TH. SINCE WRITING THE PETITION I HAVE LEARNED THAT MCKAY'S IS PUTTING A
<br />SIDEWALK ALONG HILYARD. fROM 30TH TO OMLID'S SERVICE STATION, WHICH IS NEARLY
<br />AT 31ST. fROM THE SERVICE STATION TO W. AMAZON DRIVE THE PROPERTY IS NON-
<br />RESIDENTIAL - THE STATION, A CHURCH, A TAVERN. CONTINUATION Of THE SIDEWALK
<br />ON THE EAST,'.SIDE WOULD THEREfORE INVOLVE MINIMAL ADDITIONAL EffORT AND EXPENSE.
<br />-
<br />HOWEVER, ALL THESE BUSINESSES INVOLVE A GOOD DEAL Of VEHICLE TRAffIC IN AND
<br />OUT OF PARKING AREAS, AND THEREFORE IT WOULD MAKE MUCH MORE SENSE, FROM THE
<br />POINT Of VIEW Of SAfETY, TO EXTEND THE SIDEWALK ON THE WEST SIDE fROM 29TH
<br />TO 35TH. THIS IS MOSTLY CITY PARKLAND AND A WALK THERE-WOULD BE MORE PLEASANT,
<br />AS WELL AS BEING SAfER.
<br />
<br />I COMMEND THIS TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION Of THE COMMON COUNCIL AND ALSO
<br />URGE THAT THE COUNCIL PRESS THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO RECONSIDER ITS TIME-
<br />TABLE fOR IMPROVING HILYARD."
<br />
<br />IT WAS MOVED BY MR. MOLHOLM SECONDED BY MR. MCGAFfEY THAT THE PETITION TOGETHER WITH THE COM-
<br />MUNICATION, WHICH WAS SIGNED BY MRS. IVAN NIVEN, BE REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. MOTION
<br />CARRIED.
