Serv. - <br />�ZZlZ4 <br />The Indian River County engineer is reronrnrendilig That t1j}� frit cert ---- <br />the intersection of Rosewood Road (16"' street) and 581" Avenuc (tri tr <br />Ilig;hway) be widened by adding a 3"d tarring lane. This- is to facilitate traffic <br />to the new commercial aren west of Vero Brach. More traffic will endanger <br />the lives of the residents and our children and pets, cause increased noise and <br />environmental pollution, and in all actuality, ruin one of Vero Reach's oldest <br />residential comnwnities. <br />16Th Street ends at 581h avenue, it is not a through street. 16th street is <br />not a county numbered road. 161h Street is too narrow to take on traffic, it <br />passes two schools (Rosewood Elementary and Vero Beach Senior high <br />School). <br />Within the past rive years, Indian River County spent millions of tax <br />payrr dollars installing; the twin pairs for what they said w4111141 rrllevirrtc <br />traffic problems. Now the Indian River Counly engineer wants to direct <br />more traffic through our residential nrighborhood. <br />'!here are several different options we feel should be considered: <br />(!)The removal of the bridge at the junction of Rosewood Road (16Th <br />Street) and Kings Highway (58"' Avenue) all together. 16"' Street <br />ends rel 58"' Avenue. Removing fire bridge will encourage traffic <br />away from 16"' street to Route 60. <br />(2)Add more stop signs between 43"r Avenue and Kings highway, or <br />spred humps. 'Phis will discourage traffic a«vn,y front 16 Ill street. <br />(3)Make the west -bound traffic it r•ig'hl turn only al (lie bridge on the <br />intersection of 16th Street and 58 h Avenue. Most of the traffic <br />will be going to the commercial arca on Route fill. <br />Do not forget that Vero Beach is it pearl on Florida's cast coast. <br />Ilistor•ically, Vero !leach promotes, protects, and supports family oriented <br />neighborhoods and activities. For the safety of the neighborhood residents, <br />the children, the pets, and the safety of the environment, please discourage <br />traffic on Rosewood -Road (1-61h street) rind other -residential streets. We the <br />tax paying, Rosewood Road and neighboring; residents, one of the oldest <br />residential arcus in Vero Reach, ask file indisur River County Commissioners <br />to carefully consider file other oplious we have proposed. <br />llice <br />d <br />'/ l?G.v�2_ �; G <br />JO <br />�C L� <br />19 BOOK �: PAGE <br />April 8, 1997 <br />
