FOX ROAD/COLONIAL WOODS (EASEMENT AS PARK LAND) For the third consecutive month , several residents were present to discuss the petition which they have sent to the Park Board requesting that the Fox Road easement in Colonial Woods plat be permanently dedicated as park land . Several persons voiced con- cerns ; those who identified themselves and their concerns are as follows : Tom Drow - 6317 Red Maple Lane - Mr. Drow voiced his concern that a road through from Colonial Woods to Birch Street would create traffic problems , particularly because of the nature of Colonial Woods (a circle used only by Colonial Woods residents ) , the children are not accustomed to traffic . Monica Slaten - 6283 Red Maple Lane - Ms . Slaten voiced her` concern that the Colonial Woods residents need a park area and have been using the Fox Road easement as a park for years . She also showed pictures of the area which is proposed for park in the proposed Reshanau Lake Estates plat stating that it was swamp and she felt could not be used as a park. Chris Denkinger - 6180 Ware Road - Mr. Denkinger voiced his concern as to the additional traffic in Colonial Woods and on Ware Road as a result of the proposed Reshanau Lake Estates plat and the wear on the streets , which he did not feel were constructed to accommodate a lot of traffic . Ron Leander - 6263 Red Maple Lane - Mr. Leander reiterated that the neighborhood has used the easement as a park for years and the Colonial Woods children are too young to walk to the proposed Reshanau Lake Estates park .
