However, Mt4 1 <br /> residential areas place a number of demands on the street system for parking, travel, bicycle, <br /> pedestrians, deliveries,and emergencies. While arguments can be made for narrower streets in <br /> terms of less surface area,less cost,"slower traffic",and more aesthetic appearance, they actually <br /> operate relatively poorly in providing a service to the adjacent residents. We can provide a <br /> number of examples, if necessary. <br /> We hope that the above information will help the City in determining the street width which <br /> should be looked at as a standard. If you need any more information or would like to discuss <br /> this further, please feel free to call either myself at 490-2045 or Steve Campbell at 490-2067. <br /> .5i.ncerely, <br /> Glen Van Wormer, P.
