Dear Mr. Logan,
The purpose of this letter is to formalize a written request for an item I spoke to you
about last week. I am asking that your dept. and/or the City of Ames approve removal of
the existing mid-block crosswalk on Burnett, adjacent to the west side of Meeker School
(in front of a residence at 1907 Burnett).
Honoring this request will enhance pedestrian safety near the bus loading zone on
Burnett. You will recall the existing bus loading zone, which was extended after council
approval in spring 1999, overlaps with this crosswalk and removing it with improve
safety conditions for children at Meeker School. Students and community members will
still be able to safely cross Burnett at the corners of 18th/Burnett and 20th/Burnett.
As part of this request, I would also appreciate having the crosswalk lines at the corner
of 18th/Burnett be repainted at your earliest convenience as a visual reminder to
students.
I appreciated your quick response by calling me back last week and your agreement with
this request. I look forward to the prospect of having the mid-block crosswalk removed
in the near future. Please call me if you have any questions or need clarification.
Sincerely,
* 594�
