PETITION IN OPPOSITION TO STREET OPENING TO THE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL - La Porte, Texas: We, the undersigned resident citizens of La Porte, Texas, hereby petition the La Porte City Council to vote to provide access streets to Section II of Fairmont Park East on streets other than Collingswood Road and we hereby voice our opposition to the creation of an access route between Block l04 of Collingswood Drive, of Fairmont Park East, Section II, and as reasons for such opposition as follows: That the presently existing section of Collingswood Road is a quiet, residential area providing access and service to and for the residents of that area. That said area is densely housed with families with children who play in yards bordering closely on Collingswood Road. That the residential nature of the area is what attracted many of the residents in ~n effort to purchase homes on a quiet, residential street for their families. That to create a main connecting artery between Block l04 of Collingswood Road, Fairmont Park, Section II, and Block lOa of COllings- wood Drive, Fairmont Park East, Section II, would drastically change the nature of Collingswood Road into a heavily traveled street. That Collingswood Road and properties adjacent to it are not designed for such use as there was never any intention for such use. That the high volume of traffic would create an extremely hazardous and adverse situation for the residents of Collingswood Road thereby damaging the desirability of said area as a residential area and the values of the properties in the area. That access to Section II of Fairmont Park East could be more easily provided by the use of routes directly connecting the Section with West Main Str~et and Fairmont Parkway and the decision to not '\ extend Collingswood for such purposes, would be in the best interest of the residents of the area and of the City of La Porte, Texas. ~VHEREFORE, the undersigned residents of Collingswood Road, La Porte, Harris County, Texas, petition the members of the La Porte City Council to keep Collingswood Road in its present status. Respectfully submitted, Residents of Collingswood Road, La Porte, Harris County, TEXAS "
