She feels that the residents have not been informed of what was to take place; she is especially concerned about large dips in the road, use of driveways, acid placement of sidewalks. Also, she wanted to know why easements were required. Mayor Boyle responded that the residents have received four letters concerning the construction. The Service Director and City Engineer visited the street on Monday evening and spoke to the residents. Of the 12 residences, 11 have signed the easements. The street is being constructed so that both sides of the road will drain into the street and the sewers; this will eliminate previous yard flooding. The City will put in new driveways; the percent of incline will be below the ~x;m,m, standards set by ODOT. Because the new street is a little wider, sidewalks will be moved somewhat but will basically main in the same place. A landscaper will be brought in to replace lawns and vegetation. In response to residents' concerns, a pedestrian bridge was built. Although the road is closed to through traffic, access for safety vehicles has always been maintained. There has been a problem with vehicles using the closed street as a short-cut; the Police Department has issued over 120 tickets. Service Director Bohlmam responded that the City Engineer had just today mailed a letter to Mrs. Simonski. The letter explains the choice of driveway replacements and details the work that will be done. 4
