43 Karen Simon, 3841-C Vineyard Avenue, agreed withMr. Noreen on the parking and noise issues. She felt that more accidents would occur with the increased traffic. She concluded that opening the street was not justified. Allen Yaden, 3845 Vineyard Avenue, agreed with the previous points made and added that there was a fence that runs perpendicular to that road and if it wer~ eliminated, there would be a blind spot created which could cause accidents. Cindy Langsfeld, Pleasanton Greens, also spoke in opposition of this item. She reiterated the concerns of the other neighbors.

David Walden, 3899 Vine Street, pointed out that he had read the staff report and understood the difficulty with emergency vehicles reaching certain units.

Barbie Noreen, 3845 Vineyard Avenue, added that she agreed with Mr. Bruno's concern and felt this could be a serious problem. Debbie Santos, 3923 Vine Street, Birch Creek Commons, urged the Council to keep Vine Street closed. She pointed out that traffic on Vine Street cannot be seen from Birch Creek.
