These meetings began last autumn and have consisted of <br />three previoU~ m'..~fings at which neighbors have proposed alternatives to the route contained in the <br />City's Thor0qghfare Plan. Also at these meetings, citizens comments have been received. As a <br />result of this ¢ifi..~. n input, five alternatives have been enumerated and a summary of their benefits, <br />deficiencieSl and ,Costs has been prepared as a hand-out. At the last meeting which was held on <br />March 26, 1/9i92, 'citizens provided comments, however, no additional alternatives were suggested. <br />Due to the .l',t)fi~.~ ~tex! time frame available at that meeting, the Road and Bridge Committee decided to <br />take no aefi~ir~ but to reschedule this meeting for a continuation of comments by the public. <br /> <br />For the benofit of the considerable number of people at the meeting who had not attended previous <br />meetings, Mr¢ Jankowski reviewed each alternative prepared in the handout material. Following <br />this prescription,, citizens asked questions and made comments. One of the most recurring <br />comments made by citizens concerned the impact of Alternative #1 on the wetland. <br /> <br />Mr. Greg Smith inquired as to how far into the wetland and how much wetland would be affected. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankow~ responded that under the preliminary alignment, the roadway would extend into the <br />existing wetland ~ distance between 150 and 200 feet and would impact approximately three to <br />three and one-half acres. <br /> <br />Road and Bridge Committee / April 28, 1992 <br /> Page I of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
