Wolfe Rental 6 Investment Property April 219 1983 Members of the City Council and the Planning & Boning Commission City of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa Ladies and Gentlemen: I am the owner of a house on the comer of North Dodge Ste and St. Clements Street. The house is now rented to a single family group. When this house was purchased several years ago it was zoned Highway Commercial. Several days after the purchase a moratorium was placed on the lot for some reason. I could not improve the lot during that time. After the first moratorium was lifted a second moratorium was placed on the lot in order for the city to up grade land for the HyVee and down zone this lot. During the second moratorium the lot was down zoned to C-1. I understand now that another moratorium will be placeion this lot and that it will be rezoned to Highway Commercial again. The trouble with this zone is that the new Highway Commercial zone will require a 80 foot front yard set back. A comer lot will require two front yards. My lot measures 80 x 150 feet and is on the comer. With two front yards of 80 feet required the lot has no area left on which to build. To make matters worse ---a single family house is not allowed in this new zone. If my Highway Commercial zone problem is an indication of the potential problems in all other zones covered by this new rezoning I believe the city is in for big trouble. I register my objection to the type of Highway Commercial zoning sot forth in the comprehensive plan for this property.

POST OFFICE BOX 846 IOWA CITY, IOWA 52244 Mr. Neal Berlin City Manager of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City,Iowa 52240 Dear Neal: � c � April 7, 1983 It has been over six months since the transit interchange was legally opened to westbound bicyclists. For myself and on behalf of the Bicyclists of Iowa City I want to again thank you and the City Council for that action. After cycling through the interchange and watching other bicyclists safely and calmly travel through the interchange (off of the sidewalk and not dodging pedestrians waiting for busses) I am convinced that the opening of the interchange was a wise decision. I hope that the interchange will continue to be open to bicycle traffic on a permanent basis. I would appreciate it if you would notify me or B.I.C. of any plans to reinstitute a ban. On another matter, I would like to suggest that any signs still posted in Iowa City which read "Bicyclists use sidewalk" be removed. If any signs must be posted I urge you to consider "Bike Route" or "Autos share the road with bicycles" or "Bicyclists keep right except when passing or turning left" instead. First Ave, and Muscatine east of First still have the "Bicyclists use sidewalk" signs which to my understanding have been removed in the rest of the city, j And, finally, I would urge the city to remove the bike lane stripes on Market and Jefferson Streets. Instead,uee a sign which reads "Bicycles keep right except when passing or turning left;' and make the right lane wider than the left to ac- comodate both bicyclists and auto drivers. The reasons for this proposed change are not only for reasons of safety, but also for uniformity. In probably no other instance are slow moving vehicles required to move to the left rather than to the right. IF the change were made as I suggest, bicyclists would be out of the auto drivers blind spot when going straight, since they would be to the right, not the left of left turning traffic. The most common accident situation at Gilbert and Jefferson is as described above, for example. If you would like to discuss this matter with me or if you feel it is an item to be brought up at a city council meeting, I would be glad to accomodate, with or without other members of B.I.C. present. I'll save the sore issue of bicycle parking facilities for another day. 3 Thank you. Sincerely, Shelley B. Plattner cc: Bruce Reynolds (President of B,I.C.)

Neal Berlin City Manager of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City,Iowa 52240 Dear Neal: April 7, 1983 It has been over six months since the transit interchange was legally opened to westbound bicyclists. For myself and on behalf of the Bicyclists of Iowa City I want to again thank you and the City Council for that action. After cycling through the interchange and watching other bicyclists safely and calmly travel through the interchange (off of the sidewalk and not dodging pedestrians waiting for busses) I am convinced that the opening of the interchange was a wise decision. I hope that the interchange will continue to be open to bicycle traffic on a permanent basis. I would appreciate it if you would notify me or B.I.C. of any plans to reinstitute a ban. On another matter, I would like to suggest that any signs still posted in Iowa City which read "Bicyclists use sidewalk" be removed. If any signs must be posted I urge you to consider "Bike Route" or "Autos share the road with bicycles" or "Bicyclists keep right except when passing or turning left" instead. First Ave. and Muscatine east of First still have the "Bicyclists use sidewalk" signs which to my understanding have been removed in the rest of the city. And, finally, I would urge the city to remove the bike lane stripes on Market and Jefferson Streets. Instead,use a sign which reads "Bicycles keep right except when passing or turning left." and make the right lane wider than the left to ac- comodate both bicyclists and auto drivers. The reasons for this proposed change are not only for reasons of safety, but also for uniformity. In probably no other instance are slow moving vehicles required to move to the left rather than to the right. X the change were made as I suggest, bicyclists would be out of the auto drivers blind spot when going straight, since they would be to the right, not the left of left turning traffic. The most common accident situation at Gilbert and Jefferson is as described above, for example. If you would like to discuss this matter with me or if you feel it is an item to be brought up at a city council meeting, I would be glad to accomodate, with or without other members of B.I.C. present.

IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240 (319) 356-5C0D July 5, 1983 COPY Mr. Shelley Plattner 58 Sunrise village Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Plattner: Thank you for your letter, included as a portion of a petition from the Bicyclists of Iowa City, Inc., in regard to stricter enforcement of bicycle laws and regulations in Iowa City. I certainly agree that i bicyclists violating the rules of the road should be subject to the same i level of enforcement and penalties as operators of motor vehicles. j Citations are often issued for violations by bicyclists, but not as frequently as for autos, simply because of the far greater number of motor vehicles that use our streets and highways. As you and the members of B.I.C., Inc. are aware, violations of the law relating to bicyclists are misdemeanors. Consequently, the violation must be committed in the presence of an officer; or he/she must have reasonable grounds to believe that the person arrested (cited) did, in fact, commit the violation. I am sure the Iowa City Police Department would support your group's efforts in bringing violators to their attention. Each volunteer would have to allocate some portion of time to appear in Magistrate's Court to testify as the complaining witness against the violator. The officer, as you know, can testify only to what he/she observes at the scene of the violation. Your suggestion of volunteer witnesses to these violations, if properly publicized, should have a considerable impact upon bicyclists. I must suggest that if your organization does voluntarily agree to this program that B.I.C. or each participating individual purchase sufficient insurance to provide substantial indemnification against any false arrest or harassment suits and liabilities that might arise. Another approach to the problem might be for B.I.C., Inc. to engage in a massive educational program. An approach such as this might be especially effective at the start of the major bicycling season, when the University of Iowa, public and parochial schools, etc, commence their fall terms. B.I.C. members might participate in a publicity campaign through posters, public service announcements and the like. In addition, the grade schools would probably welcome additional classroom instruction on bicycle safety to supplement the instruction offered by members of the Iowa City Police Department. 141CROFILMED BY i 1_ '-DORM -MIC R6L ABI ' CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOIRES i i. l Mr. Shelley Pl,'' ner July 5, 1983 Page 2 Again, please be assured of the col and the Iowa City Police Departmen our community as safe as possible fl Thank you for expressing your conce Sincerely, Mary C. 4uhaus Mayor cc: Police Chief City Manager 1 i 141 CROF I L141 I 'JORM -MFC CEDAR RAPIDS L; CITY OF IOWA CITY CIVIC CENTER 410 E.
