He stated there's the possibility of acceleration and deceleration or bypass <br />lanes which would require widening the mad in the area of the intersection. <br /> <br />Ms. Peters inquired whether she would be affected by sewer and water development. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated it would not impact her as the service doesn't go past her residence but it <br />does bring it that much closer. <br /> <br />Kurt Ferry, 14615 Waco Street N.W. - stated there was a need for more access from Waco Street <br />onto T.H. g47 and inquired whether there would be an additional access. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer stated there would be just the access at 147th Avenue. <br /> <br />Mr. Ferry stated that Waco Street has become a drag strip and that a street light and additional <br />access is needed. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that the access at Argon Street should take traffic off of Waco Street, and that <br />he didn't see this subdivision putting much of a traffic load onto Waco Street.
