kids will play in street anyway.
Mr. Jerry Kingrey - emergency traffic should be allowed.
Primarily an engineering problem which is solvable .
Sight distance is not adequate on Kingston. Should
have blockade or one-way. Can't cut crown as Mr. O'Brien
would not be able to get in his driveway.
Mr. Peterson, Edenvale - Has talked to people in area.
Against re-opening Old Valley View Road as sight distance
is terrible. Extension of Forest Hills Road is a good
solution and would be willing to dedicate land for this
purpose .
