As you are aware there are no sidewalks <br />on this street and two large cars can barely pass each other. At night, I commonly come to a complete stop to <br />allow another car safe passage (and to be clearly not at fault if the cars should scrape each other). <br />I am sure there are experts more qualified then I to assess emergency vehicle access to the properties served by <br />these access roads. My hunch is that they don't conform to any reasonable standards. <br />To be clear, I don't feel that adding more car traffic on this section of Spring is safe for drivers and pedestrians <br />and therefor I oppose additional lots being developed upstream. <br />Thanks for your consideration. <br />Dave <br />-- <br />David P.

Because he sacrifices his health in order to make <br />money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the <br />result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived." <br />1 <br /> <br />
