<br />e. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Notes for Bill Scott's 10-12-98 City Council 5 minute presentation <br /> <br />From the 10-6-98 meeting of the taxpayers group "Common Sense Govt.", I <br />understand from Council Members that an Ordinance to help solve this <br />problem is forthcoming so I'll keep this statement short. <br /> <br />1. This petition asks the City of La Porte to abandon the proposed connection <br />of Farrington Blvd to Lomax School Rd. arid to remove all "Comprehensive <br />Plan" references to connecting Fainnont Parkway to Highway 225. <br /> <br />2. 570+ taxpayers have signed the petition. To gauge just how high resistance <br />to this Project is.. there were only 997 voters in the last La Porte general <br />election. <br /> <br />3. Even if the Phase 1 road is officially disconnected from Phases 2 & 3 by <br />eliminating Phases 2 & 3, there is still great resistance to this Phase 1 road. I <br />would guess that 85% of the hundreds of people that I have talked to do <br />NOT want this Phase 1 road under any circumstances because they believe it <br />will greatly increase traffic through 2 elementary school zones and 3 park <br />areas. Several taxpayers believe that through traffic traveling this Phase 1 <br />road to avoid the SpencerlUnderwood and Spencer/Sens intersections will <br />turn it into a pennanent "Mertle Creek", for those of you that remember that <br />neighborhood street that was turned into a fast thoroughfare because of <br />congestion at SpencerlUnderwood...and we already have a high level of <br />congestion at Spencer/Sens. <br /> <br />4. On Oct. 26,1998, I'll provide facts in response to remarks made by some <br />members of the City Council during the 9-28-98 City Council meeting. <br /> <br />5. Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter. <br />
