Mayar Moore <br />Ron Cameron, Trafiic Engineer � <br />July 16, 1974 <br />W'EaLER'S GA5 LINES <br />/� \ <br />r'\ � � <br />� `jU /ril <br />�� <br />Sgt. G1cDannald of the Everett Police Department and I met with Eldon �j'exler, <br />their Comptroller, and timir Security Advisor on Tuesday, July 3, 1979 (3:30 -430 <br />p.m.) following Counul's discussion of the gas line problem on Evergreen Way at <br />Ai's Auto. <br />V/e!cler explained t:�at the Grove and Did<'s Auto had already calied and would have <br />the businesses (about b) soiitfi of Piexler's ar�d tlie F1eming residents at Council if <br />the lines were routed on Fleming as reported by the news. 7'he concerns were: <br />- Blocking Fler�ing's driveways <br />- Cutiing through lots (Grove ,'Jick's, Filibecks, etc.) from Evergreen <br />to Fleming creating hazard for customers, noise, e tc. <br />- 1'raffic congestion on Fleming - a narrow road. <br />- Traffic coming from both direction into the Lake St. entrance at Al's. <br />- The line onto Evergreen iluctuates and cannot be regularly predicted; <br />what happens �vhen there is a tmali line not into Evergreen (the lines go <br />in "spurts")? <br />- R'exler empioyees parking on Fleming have had tires siashed already. <br />Sgt. A1cDannala e>�pressed concerr. of traffic safety with speeding cars, the line, <br />and narrcwness of Fleming af�d ihat it w�ould be difficult to safely patrol. <br />The control ei traffic blocking driveways between Pay n Palc and the shop next to <br />Al's is almost Impossible �vith available means. They have angle parking directly <br />off Evergreen - approximatety 200 feet of continuous driveway. Al's had given rope <br />�i�ith flags to identify h�lding areas beYween "driveways" but even with the flags <br />and cardboard signs tU� IVOT BLOCY. URIVEWAYi, there was a continuous line. <br />There is no pcactical way to install City "NO PARKING" signs that wouldn't be run <br />over or pose pedestrian hazard in the paved shoulder parking area. The 40 feet <br />needed to backout and maneuver irom thc stores extends into the shoulder area <br />where the gas line forms. <br />? offered a diagramatic sign showing heavy lines for Evergrecn, hiadiso�i and <br />Fleming with names and arrows id�ntifying the route and a legend saying "GAS <br />LINE FOP.h95 VIA FLt-hiING", and "LINE FORhiS 5/O HERE" for Fleming. Al's was <br />concerned that even H�ith flags, cones, ancl the sign that :raffic would cut around <br />:he pumps through the exit arPa and into the line, resulting in fist fights. <br />li <br />
