MAY 2 31989 BOOK 76 91 It is a continuous -road from the Lateral "H" Canal to the Lateral "B" Canal at abort 43rd Avenue. Mrs. Buhr, Oslo resident, commented that she has been listening to the comments from the Highland residents and only wants to state that the Oslo residents sympathize with their traffic problems. However, since their road was paved in Oslo, they have had people going through at 80 mph, and they have been on the phone to the Sheriff almost every day. If there wasn't a speeding problem, she believed a lot of this could be recon- sidered, but her child walks to school and there are no sidewalks. They have the same concerns as the Highlands and cannot control the traffic even now. Pat Ross, 1826 14th Ave. SW, stressed that the Highlands residents have the same problem, probably even more so, with people speeding along Highlands Drive, and they are just as concerned about their children. If the people in Oslo want a sidewalk, she suggested that they get out and work for one the same way the people in the Highlands did. Chairman Wheeler asked Fire Chief Allen about response time for fire engines to get to the Highlands from the various locations discussed. Chief Allen felt that when receiving a call and getting the right address, they should be able to expedite to any location from their station on Oslo. If the road went to 27th from their Oslo station to the central section of the Highlands, they are looking at a response time of 31-4 minutes. If it goes on 20th Avenue to the central location, they are looking at 21-3 minutes. With the existing entrance, they are looking at 4-5 minutes. Sometimes when they don't get the right address, they have problems. Ann Lau from Oslo Park, newly arrived at the meeting, pointed out that Oslo Park is mostly made up of working families with small children. It contains many small lots, and the subdivision is not designed for a road like 20th Avenue would be. 32
