Director Davis advised that the 20th Avenue corridor is <br />operating at Traffic Level A, and believed the signalization <br />improvements at 8th and 12th Streets will help a great deal. <br />Ann Lau, 1695 20th Avenue, S.W., stressed that she and her <br />husband built in Oslo Park because it is a neighborhood of small <br />lots suitable for starter homes. They are concerned about the <br />safety of the children and the character of the neighborhood. <br />(Virginia Bridwell, 125 20th Ave., S.W., felt it was funny to <br />think that the traffic can be controlled on 20th Avenue, because _ <br />right now they are calling the police all the time regarding the <br />speeders, and hated to see it get worse. She agreed that it is a <br />quick and easy way to go with 20th Avenue because of the donated <br />righti-of-way, but felt that very serious consideration should be <br />given to the other alternatives mentioned today. Mrs. Bridwell <br />said that their taxes keep going up, but they get no <br />consideration for services. She has complained to the Code <br />Enforcement Board on numerous occasions and has a list of dates <br />and names of people she has talked with, but apparently they <br />don't want to be bothered to go out there to check it out. <br />Virgil Vanetta, 306 20th Avenue, inquired about current <br />traffic counts on 20th Avenue from Oslo Road to 12th Street, and <br />Director Davis advised that the count is about 4000-5000 vehicles <br />per day, but the capacity of the road is 10,000-12,000 vehicles. <br />Ther is all that undeveloped property north of Oslo Road, which <br />is owned by Mr. Ansin that will be developed at sometime in the <br />future, and the School Board is considering a new school site <br />there. He emphasized that the 20th Avenue is a very important <br />corridor in this county, and believed it would be a serious <br />mistake to take it out of the Thoroughfare Plan and not extend it <br />further south. <br />Mr. Vanetta disputed the 4000 traffic count on 20th Avenue, <br />and Director Davis said he would be glad to show him the charts <br />after the meeting. <br />34 VOK <br />AUG 2 5 <br />
