Recommendation: <br /> <br />Although it certainly is possible to install a type of closure that will permit emergency vehicles to <br />pass, there are disadvantages associated with such a facility. (1) It will greatly increase intra- <br />neighborhood travel time and distance between the adjacent subdivisions. (2) It will require a <br />high degree maintenance, forcing snowplow operator.~ and emergency vehicle operators to leave <br />their vehicle to open and close. (3) It should be anticipated that non-authorized drive-through <br />traffic will cause some degree of barrier replacement. (4) It may cost precious seconds in <br />extreme emergency situations. In addition, the platting of 157th and 158th Lanes in the Hall's <br />Dover subdivision was intended to continue eastward, and additional traffic could have <br />reasonably been anticipated by this neighborhood. Staff recommends that this type of closure <br />not be installed in this location because of the above-listed negative effects. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br />City Administrator <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief <br />Police Chief <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />RB: 05/06/98 <br /> <br />jmtYAppRid.
