Dear Mayor, City Council Members, Engineering and Finance Departments:
I appreciate the efforts you have put forth to try to reduce the cost of the Park Street LID this past year. I am
sure it took many extra hours. Thank you for listening and responding. I know many of my fellow residents are
probably still very concerned about the costs, but I am grateful that the estimated assessments are lower than
the original amounts from
last year.
I am a little confused because two maps went out with the LID announcement. One map showed the narrower
street with the green strip between the curb and sidewalk; the other showed the current layout - with the
areas we would be responsible for marked on it. Based on the estimated cost I am assuming the city plans to
go with the narrower street and the green strip, but I hope that will be made l clear at the public hearing
tomorrow. I will try to participate via zoom, but at present do not plan on making any comments unless called
upon.
Carrie and I support the narrower street plan assuming there will be no parking in front of our house. Its
currently a safety concern having kids crossing the street so near the intersection - coming out from between
parked cars. A narrower street would compound the safety issue unless there is no parking in front of our
house.
I also would support putting an entryway to the park on 5th West to encourage some parking there.
Thanks for your service,
Kevin P Shiley
