1 factory neighbor when it came to upkeep of their • <br /> 2 property; <br /> 3 doubted whether adding more drive-up lanes could cor- <br /> 4 rect the traffic congestion near her home which is <br /> 5 diagonal from the bank because traffic on 39th is like <br /> 6 "a zoo or state fair, with cars constantly turning <br /> 7 around in the neighbors ' driveways and occasionally <br /> 8 having accidents in front of our homes" ; <br /> 9 observed that there are never enough parking places to <br /> 10 accommodate TCF customers ; <br /> 11 "strongly" advocated the bank buy more property to <br /> 12 expand the parking facilities; <br /> 13 wondered with traffic already backed up all the way <br /> 14 down the street to get into the existing two drive-in <br /> 15 lanes whether traffic conditions might get worse in- <br /> 16 stead of better with four lanes; <br /> 17 was concerned all the lawn on her side of the bank <br /> 18 would be torn up with people parking all over the site. <br /> 19 Ruth Nelson, 3916 Macalaster Drive, recounted the near <br /> 20 misses she, her husband, and other neighbors had ex- <br /> 21 perienced trying to drive or walk down 39th Avenue; <br /> 22 requested a stop sign be installed at the end of the <br /> 23 bank' s driveway exiting on 39th. <br /> 24 Jake Cadwallader, 3901 Silver Lake Road, recalled that <br /> 25 it had been one of the major concerns when the bank was <br /> 26 constructed that bank traffic would not go through the <br /> 27 adjoining neighbors ; <br /> 28 said preventing a right hand turn out of the site <br /> 29 might direct the traffic back onto Silver Lake Road and <br /> 30 prevent the constant flow of TCF customers through the <br /> 31 residential areas to avoid the semaphore at the Silver. <br /> 32 Lane .and Silver Lake Road intersection. <br /> 33 Kenneth Lee said he lived and had a lot just north of <br /> 34 the bank; <br /> 35 echoed Mrs. Thompson' s suggestion that with the in- <br /> 36 creased business and better economic outlook the time <br /> 37 might have come for TCF to expand its banking fac- <br /> 38 ilities and take care of its own traffic control which <br /> 39 can' t help but become more difficult to handle as its <br /> 40 - business improves. <br /> 10 <br />
