4. Melrose Court is no more accident prone than any other street.
5. The barricade is ugly, therefore, it decreases the value of the
residents' homes that are nearer the barricade.
6. Motor vehicles travel through people's lawns to reach Melrose Court
to avoid going around on other streets.
7. People use abusive language when they drive down Melrose Court and
find it barricaded.
8. Residents feel emergency vehicles will have a difficult time
reaching their homes.
The points that were made by those not in favor of reopening Melrose Court
are as follows:
1. Melrose Court is dangerous due to the narrowness of the road, the
fast rate of speed at which motorists travel, and the curve at the
end of Melrose Court.
2. The volume of traffic on a narrow street, such as Melrose Court,
makes it dangerous for the pedestrians and children.
3. If Melrose Court is reopened it will mean a large increase in traffic
and it will be used also as a short cut to Riverside Drive.
4. It is easier for residents to turn out onto Melrose Avenue with
Melrose Court closed.
5. Opening the street will result in more calls to Police due to
speeders, accidents, etc.
There were several people which spoke who felt that before the Commission
made a recommendation per the Council's request that they should first do
traffic studies and consider other long-term solutions to the traffic
problem of Melrose Avenue, Byington, and Riverside Drive.
After the public hearing was closed, it was decided that each Commissioner
should express to the public what his/her feelings were towards the
Melrose Court issue.
Blum stated that he felt it would be a serious mistake to examine the
issue as separate problems. Blum also felt that the Commission needed to
make a good recommendation that was viable. He also felt that this is a
complex and involved problem.
Lehman felt that a long-term solution was needed and that a group with
more expertise than this Commission needed to work on it.
Ogesen suggested that maybe a separate body should be designated to work
out this problem. He also felt that they should consider moving the
barricade and even perhaps locating two barricades on the curve.

Dear Mr. Mayor:
As you know, the Planning Staff and the Planning and 'Zoning
Commission disagree on the recommendation for Foster Road;
and, therefore, the Planning and Zoning Commission would like
to have a special meeting scheduled to discuss this amendment
to thy: Comprehensive Plan with the City Council. The
Commissioners feel that a special meeting would be the best
forum for a thorough discussion of the many and varied
aspects of the recommendations.
Onfort.unately only one Commissioner is free to meet with
the City Council on Monday afternoons so an evening or
Saturday meeting would be preferable. Would March 1
at 10:00 a.m. be satisfactory?
Yours truly,
