AA 1989 <br />EkOOK <br />FA.GE978 <br />Darren Jezick, 1575 20th Avenue SW, one block away from the <br />canal, was opposed to the opening of 20th Avenue. He pointed out <br />that there are at least 6 intersections between the canal and <br />Oslo Road right now, but if the traffic goes right to 27th <br />Avenue, there would be fewer intersections. <br />Chairman Wheeler noted that a letter was received from <br />Virginia 1. Bridwell requesting that her letter opposing the <br />opening of 20th Avenue be read aloud at this meeting. He <br />explained that if he were to read one letter aloud, all the <br />letters received would have to be read aloud also, and time does <br />not permit that. He emphasized that all letters received have <br />been duly noted and will be placed on file in the Office of the <br />Clerk to the Board along with the numerous petitions that have <br />been received. <br />Commissioner Scurlock wanted to try a Motion that we move <br />ahead to open up 20th Avenue, but do so only after the other <br />necessary improvements are made to that road. He had some <br />specific concerns that were addressed by individuals here this <br />morning in terms of the lady with the one-way road; the section <br />between the intersection of 8th Street and on up to 12th Street; <br />the signalization; and the realignment. He felt it is evident <br />that some improvements are needed to see that the opening of 20th <br />Avenue is done in a safe manner. There should be some ability to <br />let the children cross, whether by signalization or some other <br />safe mechanism. Commissioner Scurlock believed that now is the <br />time to move ahead, but make it a safe situation, and added that <br />it will give us an opportunity to see how the second access <br />functions. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked Commissioner Scurlock to please <br />condense his Motion. <br />32 <br />
