Letters to the Editor: Elm Cannot Accommodate Another Road
“On August 19th I attended a city meeting where I hoped to encourage Common Council to table the vote on the West Hill PUD until more information was available. Elm Street is narrow, twisty and steep, so steep that only one side of the road, which is eroded by water flowing downhill, has a sidewalk. It is also a couple hundred feet from city’s second most dangerous intersection. This intersection often backs up, especially when there’s a train. This is the part of Elm Street that the developer on West Hill has proposed a new road, leading to their 75 new apartments.
