Casino Road, #31A <br /> Everett, Washington 98204 <br /> (206) 347-2z94 <br /> October 16, 1985 <br /> � � � � od � � <br /> City of Everett Building Department OCT 18 1g85 <br /> 3200 Cedar Street <br /> Everett, WA 58201 ....._.. ......................................................... <br /> CITY OF EVERE'1 i <br /> Dear Sirs: P�t:ic Wcrks De�t. ' <br /> This is a letter of complaint regarding the activities undertaken � <br /> by the construction crew on the construction site at the Casino Road/ <br /> Evergreen Way intersection (east of Flakey Jakes) . <br /> This area ie the site of a pedestrian walkway which connects the <br /> Casino Road intersection area with the K-Mart ahopping plaza. The <br /> pedestrian walkway is used exteneively by elderly people, students� <br /> parenta with young children and residents of apartment complexes lininR <br /> Casino Road to access the K-Mart shopping center. Presumably, the <br /> walkway wae constructed to allow pedestriane to move freely and avoid <br /> the dangere presented by the heavy traffic in the Casino Road/Evergreen <br /> Way area. <br /> In the past, pedestrians exiting the walkway on the south end had <br /> the opportunity to use a paved road in the area to reach Casino Road. i <br /> The construction crew presently Norking in the area has erected a fence ; <br /> closing off access to this road and forcing pedestrian traffic to follow j <br /> a course along the perimeter o£ Evergreen �9ay until it meets the side- � <br /> _._ . . w�J.k ax Cas�no._Road. � <br /> This area, as it stands now, is entirely unsuitable for pedestrian <br /> traffic ! The ground is covered with loose soil which, after a rainfall, � <br /> is impassable to pedestrians pushing strollers and elderl,y person� <br /> nulling shopping carts. In places, the ground is filled with potholes <br /> and littered with broken �lass, presenting an even greater hazard to <br /> public safety� <br /> As I see it, two solutions exist--either the construction crew , <br /> can remove the fence and allow pedestrians access to the paved road or <br /> the construction crew be reauired to erect a sidewalk on the outer <br /> perimeter of Evergreen Way joinin� the pedestrian walkway to the existin� <br /> sidewalk on Casino Road. <br />
