Door Mayor Cou,tnoy,
I would IIko to loko this oppo,tunlty to ollor my opinions rogordlng
proposod Improvomonts to and along Kirkwood Avonuo. I hovo allondod
two nolghborhood mooUngs ,ogardlng this mollor. I thought that tho
mooting hold rocontly at Ma,k Twain was ospoclally productlvo. AItor
IIslonlng corolully to tho roosons ollorod by a numbor 01 cltlzons against
changing tho width 01 KI,kwood and to tho roo sons 0110 rod by tho City
Sloll lor proposing width chongos, I lI,mly bollovo thot tho width 01 Iho
Itroot should romaln os It Is at prosont Irom Gllbo,t Stroot to First
Avonue.
I bollove that tho aroa Immodlotoly surrounding Kirkwood and tho gonorol
oaltlldo nolghboorhood 01 which Ills a part aro Invaluablo to tho quality
0111I0 which I and my lamlly onjoy and chorlsh In Iowa City. It sooms
cloar to mo thotlncroaslng tho width 01 Kirkwood would havo a BOVoro
dotrlmonlal elloct on this nolghborhood In at loast throo ways. First, tho
physical chongos In tho ovonuo lis 011 will movo IIlrom tho status 01 a
stroot to that 01 thoroughlaro. Tho KI,kwood rlght-ol-woy will simply no
longor be a rood through a nolghborhood. Socond, thoro Is 111110 doubt that
troffio on Kirkwood would Incrooso and thoro would probably bo Incroosod
ulago 01 othor nolghborhood Itrootl os woll. Thoro Is olroody wldosp,ood
agroomont thot tho volumo 01 tralllo which prosontly possos through this
aroa Is hovlng an unlavoroblo olloct on tho slatus 01 tho aroa as a
nolghbo,hood. Finally, It sooms most probablo that oxpandlng tho stroot
width to lour lonos at lho woslorn ond 01 tho pro po sod pr%ct will ovor
lho courso 01 just a low yoors rosult In oxponslon 01 commorclal uses
