As a part of these improvements, some accesses onto County Road <br />116 are being proposed for elimination asa measure to enhance safety, including Barium <br />Street (a private street) into the Mallard' P0nd.s. development. <br /> <br />The proposed closure of th/s access Would result in 140th Avenue becoming the single <br />remaining access:into the Mallard Ponds toWnhouse development. A potential second <br />access point exists 'at Argon Street between the Flintwood Hills 3~d and Mallard Ponds <br />developments, cUrrently this a¢cessSs gated and is to be used only in emergency <br />situations. The City police and lFire departments have concerns over how well this access <br />would work in an .actual emergency Situation. City staffhas recommended to the Public <br />Works Committe.e that if Barium Street is to be closed that the gated access at Argon <br />Street be removed. It was rtle consensus of the Public Works Committee that there <br />needed to be more than One access into. the Mallard Ponds devel9pment and that the gated <br />access at Argon Street be removed. However the Committee also recommended that <br />local resident input on this Prop0saI be solicited and that some traffic modifications be <br />considered to mimmize traffic from outside the neighborhood. <br /> <br />The City Council Will be considermgthese staff and committee recommendations at their <br />regular meeting on Tuesday,.
