APR 101990 BOOK e � PAGE 81 d U.S.I, and, in fact, from her observations, anyone entering U.S.I. only sat there 20 seconds, possibly 30. . Gary Morgan, 135th Street, noted that 11 years ago there was a petition to have the barricade put up. In regard to the traffic survey, the barricade should have been blocked off so they could have got an accurate count because people drive around it. There is a driveway on both sides of that barricade that they are using going in and out; in fact, he personally counted 6 vehicles going around the barricade within 2/3 minutes. Mr. Morgan emphasized that he built in this neighborhood because of the dead end streets. He felt a better solution would be for the church to put a "demand" light on U.S.I. and leave 134th Street alone. Except for the church, the road does not need to be paved. Charles Fitch, 134th Street, agreed that they have quite a busy street on Sunday morning with people going down and dropping off someone by the barricade; they have had as many as 57 cars between 11:30 and 12:00 on Sunday. He felt the barricade has become something that is just a cosmetic feature because anyone can go around it. He felt this all comes down to the basic question of whether.the residents have any rights at all in signing a petition and not wanting the street paved and exposed to all that traffic. Wayne Sims of 134th Street, wished the Board to know that although someone earlier said it took them as long as 25 minutes to get out of the church grounds, he saw a member of the church at breakfast, who told him that he was one of the last to leave the church and said it took him 12 minutes to get out of the church property. Mr. Sims felt that backs up his contention that the study was not made during the peak season. Chairman Eggert determined that no one else wished to speak and thereupon closed the public hearing. 28
