February 05, 1993 Dear Council Members, On 2/09/93 a public hearing is scheduled to discuss the Bison Street improvemen~ project. The Concerned Citizens of Golden Eagle Estates vehemently support making.Bison Street a through street connecting with the Trott Brook Ridge development to the south, as platted. The -Concerned Citizens of Golden Eagle Estates consist of approximately 23 households with over twenty children under the age of lQ. We have stated our concerns with a series of petitions over the ~last 4 years, along with attendance at various meetings discussing the then proposed developments i.e. Delwood Hills and Trott Brook Ridge. We were appeased when the city council told us that~ Bison Street would connect up with the then proposed Trott Brook Ridge Development to the south, alleviating some of the new traffic through our neighborhood. Trott Brook Ridge Development has since been platted and legally recorded to connect up with Bison Street. Bison Street needs to connect up with Trott Brook Ridge Development regardless of surface (Dirt or Tar). Increased traffic, created by recent developments along Bison Street, threatens our childrens safety and the quality of our residential neighborhood. The traffic use~ our neighborhood streets as a connecting link between the developments on Bison Street to Variolite Street, more specifically 171st Ave. N.W., to Zeolite Street, to 169th Ave. or 171st Ave. (back to the north since it jogs) and on to Variolite Street. This traffic needs to be distributed more evenly, with Bison Street being made into a through street. It would be extremely unfair for Bison Street to terminate within feet of the Trott Brook Ridge Streets that were platted to connect up with Bison Street. What we want is an equitable distribution of the increased traffic coming from the new developments. Keeping Bison Street a dead end is poor planning and against the recommendations of your City staff an~ ordinances (i.e. Planning and Zoning commission, City Engineer, School Bus and Snow Plow Drivers, etc.). Please, please consider ou~ position during the hearing and upon your deliberations on this issue and make Bison Street a through street as planned. The safety of ~ur children and the quality of our residential neighborhood is at-stake. S i nc~er~ ly, Sp°kesperson, Concerned Citizens of Golden Eagle Estates ! I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
