Most sqtzads do use Willow Drive from Scuth Bro�tin <br /> ::�:ad �o r ox as a �.horter route to #12 and Willo�a or to any calls <br /> ;,-� �the wastern portions of highway #'12 and the City of Orono. <br /> ,� <br /> ;�;:� �Nill now have to go north on North Brown, either to Fox or � <br /> -c,_� Lan�; Zx�t:e to make that response. We wzll also have a 1on��r <br /> ,•�:�s,�c�n�e i� u:� had a call in the north end of Willow or tnc <br /> :;r ��v�i:z DrivE area. We would have to go around. ;The- time th,at <br /> zs ta.ken :uU by .th#s :w11l=�Px'ah&�lY�e�';:a:_.2:�minute 3ifference in . <br /> �:th� response _time at :25_-.mp�. <br /> :'oi_rit r.��*nUer two is fire response. This particular area zs iz� <br /> T::e v�'ay�.a�:a fire zone and as such will have an i.r:lpar.t �r. :'rle -_ i.r•e <br /> �_-��-_��z�:��=� ;o either end of the closing. If the fire depart**���:�� <br /> • is aw�re e.:actl�r wnere we are gaing, the response time di�i�rer�ce <br /> �r:ay be r�t�;�i�ible. I would suggest that if we c�ose thzs, ��at <br /> ���e �r:aKe aIl of the houses on th� north end of Willow Drive now <br /> bein.�� renamed to houses on Shevlin Drive. That would cer-'.;ainly <br /> �iari{';� the fire de�artment response, Aiso, similari�.�,-, � ���ould <br /> -:�s�; tr.at �•:e rename Willow in the south, to either ���illoY: Lane or <br /> �•o^:,� o��er desi�nation so that the fire depa .rtrnents anu the -�olice <br /> . , � <br /> ci�r,�art�erit� resr�anding to a particular ho�lse in that area ��ill <br /> fnow i:rL*�ediately which road ju.ncture to take there. For �xample, <br /> i.� WP. n�v�� a Shevl in Drive addre s s that i s a now currer�t W i�low <br /> T):•ive address, they will know tnat they must come in fro�; eith�r <br /> ��,f,.�t�er :iill� or at least to Fox and the Old Cr�,�stal Bay are�. <br /> �.i it is a Willow Lane number they will know they must �ome in <br /> `rom trie South Bra�m Rd intersection with Willow. <br /> :�:ur��}er three. I am a�;ain with response to the area by North <br /> ;:er�orial Ambulance� They are anc�ther life savin� response t!-iat <br /> TM�ust be mea�ured ir� time. If we follou, the �ame procedure in <br /> -_ilocatinT �treet addresses, I don't f�re:�Pe a �;reat deal of <br /> ��-�ff'erencF• in P1ort;r� f•1�moria��s response , either from Lon� Lake <br /> ,..,r frorn t.h?ir head�:�.�=�rter� if they wFrF� ���min� fr�m that I�cati�n. <br /> .��reF�t r�r,R�E�:� t����cr�rnF� vit,al f�r these af-F-n�,i�:.� to re�pond. <br />
