3O5 <br /> <br /> Mr. Alexander requested that one or more of the barricades be <br /> removed until the public hearing. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver replied that there was a reason for putting up the <br /> barricades and that they should not be removed until after the <br /> public hearing, if there is reason to show that they are no longer <br /> necessary. <br /> <br /> Mr. Steve Annen, 920 Montevino Drive, questioned liability in <br /> the event of an emergency response problem. He added that he <br /> wanted to see City services like police patrolling the area due to <br /> problems with vandalism. <br /> <br /> Mr. Frank Belecky, 892 Madeira Drive, stated that the <br /> residents in the area have fought with the construction traffic <br /> for months. They have submitted a petition with 113 signatures to <br /> block the streets for the safety of the residents. He said that <br /> taking the barricades down would bring the construction trucks on <br /> their streets again. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mike Boswell, 924 Madeira Drive, mentioned that he signed <br />the original petition for the safety factor more than the <br />traffic. There are a lot of school-age children in the area, and <br />construction trucks have been cited for driving in excess Of 55 <br />miles per hour down Madeira and Crellin. He expressed sympathy <br />for the few new homeowners that have been affected by the <br />barricades, but felt that opening even one barricade would renew <br />the original problem affecting hundreds of other residents. <br /> <br /> Ms. Helen McNutt, 1944 Vineyard Avenue, stated that big <br />construction trucks making a left turn from a single-lane Bernal <br />Avenue to another single-lane Vineyard Avenue could be dangerous <br />especially to school children crossing the street in their bikes. <br />She suggested that either a police officer be in the area or a <br />three-way stop sign be installed at the intersection. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr inquired if there were enough room on Bernal Avenue <br />for a left-turn lane. <br /> <br /> Mr. Elliott replied that Bernal Avenue was quite tight but <br />that he would investigate. <br /> <br /> Mr. Paul Brambir, 3207 Sylvaner Court, indicated that he did <br />not support having construction traffic in the neighborhood. He <br />suggested that gates be installed that the Fire Department could <br />break through in case of emergency. <br /> <br /> Mr. Ron Grayson, 3252 Touriga Drive, stated that construction <br />traffic was not safe for the neighborhood and that construction <br />workers eating their lunch on the sidewalks leave their trash on <br />the streets. <br /> <br /> -5- <br /> 9-5-89 <br /> <br /> <br />
