We/comes Road Neighborhood This neighborhood consists of the unpaved streets west of Variolite Street, which include 163 rd Lane, Uranimite Street, 1 64th Lane, Sapphire Street, and 1 64th Avenue. These streets provide an east/west connection between Variolite and Ramsey Boulevard between Alpine Drive (one mile to the south) and CR 63 (1 Y. mile to the north). Because of this unique geography this ostreet' facilitates traffic beyond that of the use of the fronting residents. Concern has been expressed over the use of the street by construction traffic utilizing the roadway to transport equipment and materials between the proposed Brookfield Addition and the proposed Sweet Bay Ridge, subdivision. -101-
