INC NEWS - Washington Street to reopen Friday (Herald-Sun)

[Mike - Hotmail]

fyi-

Neighbors in Northgate Park have been anticipating the re-opening of the 
bridge with varying amounts of personal emotion ranging from anxiety to 
relief.

Residents along various streets (Glendale, Ruffin, Ruby, Club, Lavender and 
Acadia) all will be affected either by increasing or decreasing traffic 
levels and speed.

While we are the most immediately affected neighborhood NORTH of 85,  we 
empathize and ask our neighbors SOUTH of 85 along the Washington Street 
corridor to join us in requesting regular (or at least periodic) police 
patrols up and down this new route.

We're also requesting that drivers respect the speed limits in all our 
residential neighborhoods.

With a very successful Central Park Charter School along its route 
(including the fact that it intersects Club at an 'unusual' angle) where an 
urban trail also intersects,  we want to make sure that pedestrians and 
elementary students have their rights and well-being protected too!

Thanks John for posting this notice.
