From:Bruce Heldt <br />To:HALVERSON Daniel E <br />Subject:I support the Shedd"s request to purchase the alley from the city. <br />Date:Friday, May 31, 2019 6:35:58 PM <br />Dan, <br />I support the Shedd's request to purchase the east west alley immediately adjacent to its <br />building downtown. <br />The alley as presently configured presents drivers & pedestrians with inadequate sight lines to <br />see each other approaching the intersection with the alley. <br />While using the Shedd parking lot or attending events at the Shedd I have more than once <br />noticed vehicles driving through the alley without exercising appropriate care when <br />approaching the corner of the building adjacent to the sidewalk, that is without slowing down <br />to check around the corner of the building or at least tapping their horn to warn approaching <br />pedestrians. Many of the pedestrians crossing this alley are younger children who might be <br />expected to suddenly dart down a sidewalk without peering around a building corner, or <br />seniors.who might be more vulnerable to being "surprised" by the sudden appearance of a <br />vehicle "around the corner" or unable to quickly dodge the approaching vehicle. <br />Bruce Heldt <br />Retired Shedd patron. <br />June 17, 2019, Public Hearing – Item 1
