There will be meetings to discuss the ‘shared vision’ that we have elaborated over the years and how it is impacted by this project, and how the vision might still be fulfilled given the new circumstances.

Elections – tabled to next month VII. Fred Pfaffle of Burlingame Avenue and Chestnut will present a proposal for a painted crosswalk at that intersection. The intersection of SW Chestnut and Burlingame is the biggest four way intersection by Wilson and Reike that does not have a crosswalk. Fred has connected nearly one hundredsignatures by local residents who feel that this crosswalk is needed. The neighbors are asking for the HNA endorsement and support of their efforts to create better visibility at this busy intersection where drivers often speed by. It is a ‘tragedy waiting to happen.’ Fred suggests that this be connected with work that the water bureau will be doing on Chestnut. A. Don Baach suggests that the HNA write to the city requesting that the previously requested crosswalks at SW 18th and SW Sunset, and SW Martha and SW Sunset be reaffirmed and add the request the addition of the Chestnut Crosswalk B. It is moved that HNA write to the city and request a crosswalk across SW Burlingame at SW Chestnut and reaffirm the request for crosswalks at SW 18th and SW Martha and SW Sunset C. It is moved that to modify the amendment as follows: It is moved that HNA write to the city to support the painting of a crosswalk across SW Burlingame Ave at SW Chestnut St. The motion was seconded and passed.
