Subject:Safety improvements on Laurel Ln.
I am writing in regards to the proposed improvements to Laurel Lane. My oldest son is in kindergarten at Sinsheimer
and we cross Laurel at Southwood twice daily. With so many young children crossing daily it is imperative that it be
made safer. Just this week a car failed to stop at all while I was in the crosswalk with three children.
I encourage the City Council to
1. Reduce travel lanes to one in each direction 2. Install two-way center turn lane 3. Install buffers between the travel
lane and bicycle lane 4. Stripe the existing crosswalks as high-visibility crosswalks 7. Sidewalk bulb outs at the
intersections of Laurel/Southwood and Laurel/Augusta
Thank you very much for keeping our community safe.
Sincerely,
Kris Wetzel
