RE: PETITIONS FROM RESIDENTS ON CAMEO AVENUE BETWEEN 145TH
AND 143RD STREET REGARDING STREET WIDTH AND STREET
LIGHTING
We have received the two attached petitions from residents that live on Cameo
Avenue which is to be reconstructed as part of the 1997 Reconstruction Project. The
residents have requested that the street be narrowed as much as possible to include
sidewalks and a grassy boulevard, but also include parking on both sides of the
street. A second petition was in regards to the proposed new street light poles which
were to be installed as part of the project. They are generally opposed to adding any
more poles in the boulevard area and would rather have lighting mounted on the
existing poles.
The second concern is very minor and actually will save the City money if the City
goes along with the wishes of the residents. My position is that until we actually can
bury all the lines, it probably doesn't matter if new light poles are added and
adequate street lighting can be maintained utilizing the existing poles as requested.
The first petition regarding the street width is a more complex issue. The residents
compare this segment of Cameo Avenue to the portion of Cameo Avenue south of
145th Street and desire a more "residential" look than what was proposed. However,
as shown on the attached drawing, the traffic count is at least four times higher north
of 145th Street as the southerly segment due in the majority to the traffic generated
from the elementary and middle schools. I explained to the residents that it would
be my recommendation, if parking is kept on both sides, that we keep it at its present '
width or narrow it up two feet at the most. This would not result in a grassy
boulevard that can be maintained and is aesthetically pleasing. As our experience on
145th Street has shown, it is very difficult to get grass to grow in a small area which
is 2'/Z to 3 feet wide between two concrete surfaces. It takes a lot of extra tender
loving care to keep that width of a boulevard green. My suggestion is to just to
discuss this issue tonight and bring back the pros and cons of a possible redesign in
two weeks at the April 1 st meeting. We would invite the residents to that meeting
after Staff has a chance to investigate the added engineering costs, the possible
deductions in contract costs and possible design changes. Perhaps a choker system
on Cameo at 143rd Street and at 144th Street would be a good compromise in this
matter, but it does require further study.
