Subject: Safe e,xit out ofRiverwooc~ l-lills South Atthe Fresent, we have a serious trn~c problem at the hate. secSon of 177 A. ve NW and E~!dum. By adding mor~ tra~c coming from the South on E:ld~m the problem w~l gra~tdy incr~e and will notbe able :o be corrected. Kivm-wood Hills Plat: I is river bottom land, and the only road out goes up a st~t= hill with a sharp cu_~.e half way up. When t~ waz developed, a house should not have b~n put at 17700 Colbai~ so ~ kill would mot have a shaz'p curve hzlf way up. During the winter, when the hill is slippe.-y, you can't mop on the b.fl2 or you can't get s'~rted agaiu and you will block u'~-.~c going in or out. By adding any moz~ u-afHc coming fi'om the South on E,.-k~.um, t.-a~c will get smiled on the kill duu~.r,g slippe,--y conclidoms and lock up this nei_~_hborhood or' 2~t homes. Amy fnm,_medicM., or police vehicles could not respond. In past snow storms, this nei~bAood has been isolated, because we can't get up this ~ undll it ha~ been plowed out later in the day. Even now when you exit and m:~ke the curve at 177 Aye N'W' and Esk~um, some cms corning fi:om the south on Erkium will not stop and cut you off. It's not the tweo residence from the south, but service or other vehicles. Traffic accidenm a:~ Luevitable, if mom u-affic comes from the south on Esldurn. If ~ve or whatever number of home ar= added to this ~0 a~s~ the e:dt fi:om th~ project should be to Fluorine St or another road to the west to hasur~ a safe e.'dt for Riverwood ~ Plat 1. You have only I 1.homes the: e~t an Fluorine St. while at the present ~4 ':"-komes e~t on £:kium St. E:tdi. an St should deadend as it connects with 177 Ave. -132- 14
