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 />poopulation 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 an automobile 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 />r <br />
