75 Regular Council Meeting 3/21/94 Page Thirteen Mr. Basile said he attended the preconstruction meeting on February 28 and the contractor said he thought he could live with keeping Highland: and White and Wildwood open to go across Highland, but then Lt. Jay said that would be a safety hazard. ? M Mayor Rinker said he spoke directly with Mr. Calabrese. He had word of mouth that CV) the contractor said he could do it no problem. He told me something totally different. < Mayor Rinker said he asked what would be involved, how long will it take, and what z will be hazardous. He said it would take at least 30 extra days and it would be ? extremely hazardous; he did not like the idea at all. Mrs. Cinco said she will take itivo more comments from the floor. Mary Dodson, asked if there are any plans to have any kind of traffic control at that S.O.M. and White intersection. It seems in the morning for anyone coming out of Aintree North that has to go north and make a left onto White Road, if every other car that would have come south and would have to detour onto White, that is just going to back us up onto S.O.M. trying to make left-hand turn. Lt. Jay said we will monitor that as well as the other routes that the people will have to be detoured. Wlierever it is going to be necessary, if we have to put some people in there to facilitate movement during those high peak periods of time, we will handle that. Right now, we can only guess what is going to happen when this all begins and what time all these peaks are going to reach. Unfortunately, we are not a 500 man police department, so we would be spreading ourselves a little thin, but we will do the best we can at those locations where it is really going to create some problems. The advantage the northbound traffic will have there is that the southbound traffic will be minimized; there is not going to be much. The first detour will be at Chardon Road. He explained the truck detour route which passenger cars may also use. Norma Basconi. 6808 Bramblewood, said she is very concerned about ambulance service. As the Lt. just said, this is not a 500 member police department. You take some evenings you may have four or five emergencies in the Village. If someone in this area that is affected by this traffic pattern would need an ambulance and there is not a patrolman out there to control the traffic, if we lose one resident because there was a delay in ambulance time getting to Hillcrest, you people on the panel are going to have to answer to us. ?
