.~ l; .. i~HEASANT WALK/QUAIL RUN CIVIC ASSOCIATION Mr. James Boehmer President, North Olmsted City Council 5200 Dover Center Road North Olmsted, OH 44070 March 2, 1992 Re: Pheasant Walk/Quail Run Civic Association Comments to the Crocker/Stearns Road Extension Dear Mr. Boehmer: The Pheasant Walk/Quail Run Civic Association (Association) represents 55 occupied homes in the Pheasant Walk development in North Olmsted, Ohio. The development is located immediately North of Lorain Road and West of the proposed Crocker/Stearns Road extension. •An additional 4 homes are planned and/or currently under construction in the development. The Association met on February 5, and again on February 12, 1992, to discuss member concerns related to the proposed Crocker/Stearns Road extension project. North Olmsted Director of Public Service Ralph Bohlman and Ward 3 Councilman George Nashar were present and addressed the participants at the February 12th meeting. The Crocker/Stearns Road extension project, upon completion, will be the onl four (4) lane North/South road in`North Olmsted. Great care must be taken to minimize the effects of this road and the significant increase in traffic on the surrounding neighborhoods. Accordingly, the Association presents the following preliminary requests and recommendations: 1. DELETION OF WEST SIDEWALK AND .BIKE PATH The Association requests and recommends that the proposed sidewalk and bike path on the west side of the Road be deleted from the project plans. A sidewalk and bike path immediately adjacent to a four (4) 7 ane road poses a si gni f i cant hazard to safety and welfare of area residents, in particular, the children of the community. Further, the sidewalk and bike path will serve as an attractive nuisance for unwanted pedestrians andlor bike traffic that would be in very close proximity to the back of many of the Association's homes.
