10 ;-a7 <br />Dear Council Nemiers: <br />Id0'd !387 <br />LVII <br />I, as a widow on a limited income am appalled (as well as my neigh- <br />bors) that this village expects me to pay for a "Public" sidewalk. <br />This is NOT a residential sidewalk on a residential street. It as a <br />community sidewalk on a county road providing a "supposedly" safe <br />pedestrian oath from one community to the next. This sidewalk is a <br />community benefit, riot just a neighborhood improvement. <br />I need documencet, proof snowing that this sidewalk is only an <br />improvement only to my property. <br />This sidewalk will be useC by touristE, py ALL Orono residents (as <br />well as Mound and Spring Park) who use this main artery pathway to <br />negotiate their trios to work, visit friends, conduct their business <br />errands, and walk to the MTC bus line. <br />I feel the sicewalk is a detriment to my property. It encourages <br />people to walk in my yard. A public park adjacent to my bedroom windows <br />Police records will document that the close proximity to the road has <br />resulted in intruders and window peekers. The sidewalk will bring <br />Deoole even closer to my home and make them seem natural standing or <br />strolling so close to my house. <br />I do not want this sidewalk nor do I feel it is an asset or <br />improvement to the side yard of my property; but rather a detriment to <br />my personal property and a dangerous attraction to children and <br />pedestrians who would ordinarily use a sidewalk as a safe made of <br />travel. <br />If a public safety study was done = am sure it wculd concur that <br />County read 15 between Navarre and Spring Park is an extremely <br />dangerous 'rafficked road. To encourage pedestrians or children to <br />frequent u tis area could be highly injurious to the -1 Fare. <br />Conversely if tie village deeriis the sideweld try, the expense <br />should be borne by all DroDerty ,_owners of the villau <br />Pt a time w-e-! municioa'_ities and government agencies are <br />scrutinizing exper,!itures or services, why should 'ands be spent on <br />projects that citizens Don't want? Five or ten years ir., the future will <br />tnese sidewalks be orr, uo tc, add more traffic lanes? Traffic lanes <br />that the county feels are riceciec ricr-it now after vxnaustive traffic <br />st ud t.es. <br />If this noter,tial exists, certainly these SiCewalKS are not a <br />iuLJ1C1oi_ts i_tst= of ".1nCs. <br />r.arert Dridersori <br />241.3 Carman Str^eel. <br />W&tyzata, r-N 55391 <br />
