Preconstruction Mock-Up Of Proposed Evergreen Ave Sidewalk In Homestead/Mill Valley.

Bcc: Save Evergreen Ave Residents, HearUs, Madrone Park Circle Group,
HVCA, & MHS.

Subject: Evergreen Ave Sidewalk To Be Constructed.

As a resident for 16 years on Evergreen Ave and on behalf of many
concerned Homestead homeowners & residents who use this street on a
daily basis, I'm asking DPW to conduct a "Preconstruction Mock-Up At
Points Of Most Concern For Road Safety On Evergreen Avenue With The
Addition Of A Proposed 4.5 Concrete Sidewalk With Curb & Gutter."

This mock-up would show how the installation of a new sidewalk on the
south side of the street would possibly cause an impact on the road
safety for anyone that uses the road such as driving, bicycling, &
wheelchair use.

The mock up should be conducted prior to the final DPW sidewalk
preconstruction meeting scheduled on June 7th. Residents could express
their concerns about the proposed sidewalks possible impacts on the
street compared to the current state the street has been in for many
years with a perfect safety record for pedestrians not being in danger
of cars.

The mock-up would simply consist of chalk lines or cones placed on the
south side of the street representing the finish curb of the proposed
sidewalk at three points of most concern.

Those points of most concren are at: Evergreen Ave & Melrose (along
side Volunteer Park); Evergreen Ave & Linden Lane (across from the
north side of Evergreen Ave & Linden Lane intersection); & at the
curve in the road on Evergreen Ave heading northbound to Ethel Ave.

At these points with chalk lines or cones placed approximately 100 ft.
in length would be sufficient in giving the residents an idea of how
their street's travel lane safety will be impacted (whether positive
or negative).

I believe that this is something the residents deserve who use this
street consistently, to reassure them that this latest version of the
new street plan is best for our green semi rural neighborhood
thoroughfare.

At the upcoming meeting, I hope that we could resolve whatever issues
the residents may have after the mock-up of the new street plan before
Evergreen Avenue is changed forever.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience in working with the
Evergreen Avenue & Homestead residence.

Please respond to us about this proposal of the mock-up.

Sincerly,

Keith Garriott
