Dear Mr. Mayor:
At a recent meeting of the Como Park Improvement Club, a motion was
passed in protest to the proposed widening of Horton Avenue from West
Como Boulevard to VanSlyke•Street,.and then on to Lexington Avenue North.
This street (Horton) is the one that most of the children in our
neighborhood cross when going eigher to Como Park in the summer or to Como
Lake for skating in the winter. Widening this street can only lead to one
thing - a race track for drivers between the slower pace they must follow
in going around the Lake and the slower pace they must follow when driving
through the Park. Eventually, the situation could lead to a serious
accident which we all would be sorry for.
Furthermore, by taking eight feet from the property of block #l, lot #
14, Warrendale Addition, the property owners' lot will be reduced to the
point where the sidewalk along the "new" Horton Avenue will be immediately
under the windows of the home on this lot. This is extremely unfair to the
property owners - we are confident that no member of the group that designed
this anew widening, or yourself, would like the idea of losing much of the
privacy of your own home through a move such as the one in question.
Therefore, the Como Park Improvement Club wishes the record to show
that we protest this project.
