Ron Kinnard, 245 Fairway Loop, stated that he had completed a major remodeling of his home, but that the appraised value of his home had been discounted because of high traffic volume on his street. He said the safety of residents was in jeopardy because of the delay in the closure of Fairway Loop to through traffic. Shotzie Pluid, 265 Fairway Loop, stated that he represented the interests of many residents of her neighborhood who could not attend. She said that nearby commercial growth was the major factor in the great increase in traffic. She said the traffic volume would likely increase in the future. She said her neighborhood was united and determined in asking for closure of Fairway Loop to through traffic. Arnie Pluid, 265 Fairway Loop, stated that the traffic on his street had increased immensely since he moved to his home in 1973. He said the street was not designed for the volume, type, or speed of the traffic which currently used it. He said that a number of neighborhood pets and many squirrels had been killed by non-careful drivers. Richard Robillard, 303 Fairway Loop, stated that he agreed with the previous speakers and added that the increased traffic had raised the noise-level of the street significantly. He described inappropriate heavy duty truck and bus traffic which used the street. He urged the council to close access to Fairway Loop and provide alternate routes for traffic. Anita Cannon, 2079 Fairway Loop, described the effects of the heavy traffic on Fairway Loop on her family. II.
