Council members, I'm writing to urge you to allocate unspent funds to the South Broad Street Improvement
Plan, which has the potential to ameliorate dangerous conditions along the street. I'm speaking as a resident
of the area (Rockview Pl.) who's concerned about the difficult and dangerous situation that presently exists in
this unimproved area.
Currently, the South Broad Street design "allows for high traffic volumes, relatively high speeds, and
continuous, uncontrolled left turns into streets and driveways, making it difficult for residents to
access businesses, adjacent neighborhoods, schools, parks, and public transit," as stated in the Plan,
which was created over a decade ago. I can vouch that traffic volume, which has increased
dramatically in recent years due to the (needed) construction of multi-family housing, and the difficulty
of making left-hand turns both make an ever more dangerous situation. Not to mention that the area,
which is inherently unattractive, could be much improved by measures in the Plan to make it more
attractive!
Thank you for your attention to this matter, Sara Mikkelsen
