<br />school access and pleasure. Maintaining a rural and country feel to our <br />neighborhood has long been an important quality for both the Lehmans and <br />Selways and other residents who live in the neighborhood. Large lots relative to <br />house size, homes turned on an angle instead of in a straight row, rolled curves <br />without sidewalks were all conditions of approval from neighbors when the Bas <br />Homes development was proposed in the Mohr-Martin area. During the most <br />recent improvements to Cameron Avenue since the opening of Mohr School, the <br />issue about sidewalks was introduced once again by some neighbors. It was <br />resolved by the City that a sidewalk along Cameron was unnecessary however <br />a multi-use pathway was added along Martin Avenue for passage to Mohr <br />School from the surrounding neighborhoods. Fortunately the students have <br />passed through the neighborhood without incident thus far since Mohr School <br />opened. <br /> <br />Issues ReaardinQ Cameron Avenue <br /> <br />Cameron Avenue is going to be the street primarily affected by the proposed <br />project as it is the only street entrance to the project as currently designed by <br />Ponderosa. It is a relatively short street, 28 feet in width, connecting Kamp Drive <br />on the western end and Martin Avenue to the east. It was designed without a <br />sidewalk or striped center line dividing the street for two-way traffic and it has <br />parking restrictions on both sides of the road during the more heavily traveled <br />times of school traffic. Unfortunately Cameron Avenue is the only entrance for <br />the entire proposed Lehman- Selway project with it's design of two street <br />connections contributing to approximately 250 more trips per day onto this small <br />distance of street from the proposed development. This design will not only add <br />to the traffic congestion of the area, it will additionally put two more points of <br />entry for cars to travel onto Cameron, together with traffic coming from the <br />existing streets of Courtney , Equestrian and Palmer, as well as Kamp and <br />Martin Avenue. Pedestrians and bike riders traveling on Cameron will have to <br />contend with an unnecessary increase in traffic exposure with all of the potential <br />
