REGARDING: ROBERTS ROAD BRIDGE
Gentlemen:
I have some comments, regarding the Roberts Road Bridge. My property is 7
Monroe Court with frontage on West Roberts Road abutting the Roberts Road
Bridge.
1. For real estate value, I would like to preserve the possibility of access to a
town maintained street, which is Roberts Road. I would like to be able to have
vehicular access from Roberts Road, should I or someone else wish to develop
the property, which is zoned multiple family.
2. My current vehicular access street is Monroe Court, which is a privately
maintained marginal lane.
3. From a personal viewpoint, I like having the bridge closed. The skateboarding
and hangout problem potential was much less than I had expected.
4. Historically, I noticed that the garbage trucks and other large trucks ignored
the vehicular weight restrictions.
5. 1 support many speed bumps and swails to calm the traffic, if a bridge is
indeed opened ever.
6. No matter what, expert landscape design and lighting should be incorporated.
7. Public art should be part of the bridge design.
Respectfully submitted,
Anne Lamborn
