AUG 2 5 boob: p��,� We the undersigned residents of 20th Ave. SW, Oslo Park, wish to -- express our opposition to the proposal to extend 20th Ave. SW to the Vero Beach Highlands. We are gravely concerned that this connection would pose a serious safety hazard, negatively effect our present lifestyles and diminish the general quality of life. This extension was obviously not on the county traffic plans when Oslo Park was platted. We do not feel that routing traffic from a large subdivision through another subdivision, with small lots, single family houses buil+ close to the road, and many small children is the answer to the Highlands traffic problems. While we realize the need for additional, access to the Highlands, we believe there are alternatives, such as the extension of 17 'fie SW to 27th Ave., that solve these problems without an undue burden to the homeowners of another subdivision. We wish to remind the Commission's recent decision to place a 4 -way stop on the road immediately east of 20th Ave. SW (19th Ave. SW) in Oslo Park specifically for slowing traffic (all internal) for the safety of the children living along that road. We have been informed by Ila* Orr, County Traffic Engineer, that this extension (by his estimate) would increase the traffic on this section of roadway (presently limited primarily to the residents of 20th Ave. SW.) by approximately 2000 cars per day at peak season. As previously stated, we believe that this tremendous increase in vehicular use will adversely effect the safety and well being of the residents of Oslo Park.
