hlayor ivloore Ron Cameron, Traffic En�ineer �.�� July 16, 1979 \VL-XI_GR'S GAS LINES Sgt. hlcllannald of tLe f-_verett Police Department and I met with Cldon \Y'exler, their Comptroller, and their Security Advisor on Tuesday, July 3, 1979 (3:30 -4:30 p.m.) following Council's discussion of the gas line problem on Cvergreen Way at Al's Auto. 1Vexler explained that the Grove and Dicl<'s Auto had already catled and would have the businesses (about 6) south of 1Vexler's and thc Fleming residents at Council if the lines were routed on Pleming as reported by the ne�vs. The concerns �vere: - 131oc1<ing Fleming's drive�vays - Cutting through lots (Grove , Dicl.'s, Filibecl<s, etc.) from Gvergreen to Fleming creatino hazard for customers, noise, etc. - Traffic con�estion on Fleming - a narro�v road. - Traffic coming from both direction into the Lal:e St. entrance at AI's. - The line onto L-vergreen fluctuates and cannot be regularly predicted; what happens when there is a small line nut into Evergreen (the lines �o in "spurts")? -\'L'exler employees parl<ing on P'leming have haci tires slashed already. Sgt. ivlcDannald expressed concern of traffic safet� with speeding cars, the line, and narrowness of Pleming and that it wo�dcl be difficult to safely patrol. The control of traffic blocking driveways beiwzen Pay �i Pal: and the ;hop next io Al's is almost impossible �vith available means. They have angle parl<ino directly off Evergreen - approximately 200 feet of continuous driveway. Al's iiad giv2n rope with flags to identify holdino areas bet�veen "driveways" but even �viih the fla�s and cardboard signs (DO NOT BLOCI< DRIVEIVAY), there was a continuous lir�. There is no practical �vay to install City "NO PARI<ING" signs that �vo�ldn't be run ove: or pose pedestrian hazard in the paved shoulder parl<ing area. Thc 40 feet needed to bad<eut and manewer from the stores extends into the shoulder arca where :he gas line forms. I offered a diagramatic sign sho�vin� heavy lines for Bvergreen, �vladison and Pleining with names and arrows identifying the rou�e and a legend saying "Gf15 LINL- FORMS VIA 1=LL-�1NG", and "L1NE FORti1S S/O HGRL° for }�lemin�. AI's was concerned that even ��ith flags, cnnes, and the si�n thai iraific a'etild cut around the pumps illfOUb�l II1L' CkIC area and into tl�c line, r�sulting in fi;t [it;hts.
