Dear Mayor Stewart and Councilmembers Francis, Marx, Pease, and Shoresman,
It has come to my attention that some unallocated funds have become available for a mid-year budget review. I
am writing to ask that you allocate funding to the South Broad St Area Plan.
My personal experience since moving to Broad St. has been one of concern since the day I moved in. The
street is dangerous to cross, cars are speeding at 60 MPH or more and there are pedestrians zig zagging in
traffic trying to cross outside the wide spread crossing areas, and bikers on both sides of the road. Even
making a right hand turn is difficult, not to mention a left hand turn. In addition, my daughter will turn 1 in June
and I am deeply concerned for her safety. It is paralyzing to consider. Thus to say that whether you are in a
car, on foot, or on a bicycle, Broad has become a dangerous street and something needs to be done to
improve circulation.
My aim in asking you to allocate these funds is to get some traffic calming and safety measures for cars, bikes
and pedestrians implemented as soon as possible on Broad St. In particular, circulation improvements are
extremely important for Broad St. traffic, and with all of the new developments that are being and will be
developed, it is only going to be more necessary. This is an opportunity for you to address those issues that
already exist, and get ahead of issues to come. I hope you consider this in your discussion and allocate funds
to implement the already approved, South Broad Street area Plan.
Sincerely,
KAI PREY
