Dear Mr. Kennedy:
We have noticed an increase in traffic flow on Brush St. over the past couple years, and
we anticipate more once Orchard St. is extended. _
I have a proposal that would facilitate traffic flow on Brush St. and would make life easier
for Mrs. Denson's.
Trucks have a difficult time backing into our driveway. This causes an increased time of
traffic blockage. As an alternative to having to back in, severa] trucks a week double park
in the street and loadlunload there. That, of course, upsets the traffic flow. Bcsh St. is
not a through street for trucks, so all trucks have to either back into our driveway to turn
around, or they go to the intersection of Brush and Orr to maneuver around. Once that
Orchard is extended, I doubt that the latter option wilt be viable.
What I propose is that the city apply red paint to six feet of curb on both the east and west
sides of our driveway on Brush St (Details B & C on attached diagram). Also, on the
south side of Bruslt St., we would like red paint on the curb between the NATCO and
Soda Creek Press driveways (Detail A on attached diagram).
While eliminating one parking place, tlus move would make backing into the driveway a
one-pass operation, rather that amulti-pass problem, thereUy reducing the time that the
street is blocked. As traffic on Brush St. increases and more trucks enter and exit this
facility, this move will have more impact on the traffic.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Mike Bietenberg
