Hi Kevin,
Just providing an email to support the voicemail I left you this Friday, 4/11.
I went out and reviewed the site and also reviewed traffic volumes in the area and from a traffic operations
and safety point of view, believe the site could be acceptable for a Fire Station.
A break in the median would be acceptable with a gate to control errant movements thru the break. A fire
signal would need to be installed, but is a traditional characteristic of any other fire station access to a
higher volume roadway. I would request that the Station be designed to have only one access to serve
inbound and outbound needs and that access should be located as far east as feasible to keep it as far
from the Drake and Taft intersection and the west bound Drake left turn bay. Lastly, I would request that
the median break only be used for emergency outbound needs and not for other casual inbound or
outbound uses.
My apologies Kevin for failing to get this review to you earlier. I looked at the site and did my reviews last
week, but failed to get fingers to the keyboard and get this acceptance letter off to you. Sorry for any delay
I may have caused.
Sincerely,
Ward Stanford
