He also felt the <br /> 12 increase in costs involved with wider streets could force some <br /> 13 residents to leave the community. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Mr. Brasaemle was in favor of stricter law enforcement for <br /> 16 speeding. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Charles Young, 3032 County Road I, expressed concern regarding the <br /> 19 County Road that he lives on.
