SAMANTHA ORDUNO <br /> PAGE TWO <br /> OCTOBER 5, 1993 <br /> 2) Traffic <br /> Traffic is heavy between Towns Edge and City Hall. <br /> The time element is too long to make the drive for <br /> safety purposes. During the morning and evening <br /> rush hours the traffic is even worse. <br /> 3) Manufactured Home Park Entrance/Exits <br /> There is only one road in and out of Towns Edge <br /> Manufactured Home Park. This causes a major <br /> problem with residents attempting to leave the <br /> Park, all at the same time. A problem exists for <br /> emergency vehicles entering the Park if there has <br /> been a disaster in the Park. People going to the <br /> Towns Edge Terrace office during a storm leave <br /> their cars in the street and sometimes block the <br /> road off, so no access is available in or out. <br /> Mounds View Manufactured Home Park - 1046 Montclair - 153 homes - <br /> population 450 residents <br /> It is felt that City Hall and the Mermaid are not acceptable <br /> shelters for the same reasons as stated under Towns Edge, above. <br /> Colonial Village Manufactured Home Park - 2075 Rustad - 194 homes <br /> population 427 residents <br /> It is felt that City Hall and the Mermaid are not acceptable <br /> shelters for the same reasons as stated under Towns Edge, above. <br /> It was agreed that citizens shouldn't have to take their cars to <br /> a shelter at the time of disaster. During an actual storm <br /> warning, citizens-are-warned-not-to-be-in-anautomobile_or__drive <br /> away at right angles. By requesting citizens to drive to City <br /> Hall, they are driving towards the direction that most storms <br /> come from. <br /> It was also found that the City Hall basement and the Mermaid <br /> Supper Club may not be able to hold all of the people coming for <br /> shelter. There is a total of 1421 residents in our Manufactured <br /> Home Parks. As the plans exist, citizens are requested to get <br /> into their cars, drive to the Mermaid or City Hall at a time that <br /> all others are in their basements seeking shelter. With the <br /> increase in traffic and the danger of not being in a shelter, <br /> citizens are running a risk of possible injuries. <br /> As a group, Mr. Hibberd, Mr. Conter and myself recommend that <br /> these emergency plans not be accepted. <br />
