Subject: FW: Crossroads Comment Letter from Victoria
Ted,
This is the response that we got concerning traffic at the new
Crossroads facility. Let us know when we can get together and discuss
Bud
From Victoria at crossroads,
Concerning the number of cars: My understanding is that Columbine East
had a three -shift rotating staff of 100, which would mean that, at any
time of the day or night, there would likely be about 33 cars parked in
the lot. They also housed between 90 and 130 elderly residents who had
guests, how many I don't know. They also had doctors and social workers
come for daily visits, as well as many ambulance visits, moving vans,
delivery trucks, etc.
For Crossroads: It is unlikely that there would be more than 15 to 20
staff/volunteer/intern vehicles at any time during the average workday
(only 2 - 4 vehicles after 5 p.m.). Exceptions: 1. On Mondays between
noon and 2 p.m. there may be an additional ten cars for group
non-resident attendees (although some carpool). 2. After 5 p.m. on two
nights, from 6 - 8 p.m., there may be a total of 12 staff and
non-resident group attendee cars. 3. At random hours on a couple days
average per month, for a couple hours on those days, there might be 20
cars because of trainings or programming, but that is likely an
over -estimate.
Crossroads' clients will not be having visitors, nor will doctors'
visits be a daily occurrence. Once we move in we hope to say good -by to
moving vans for decades. And, fortunately, we need few ambulances.
Concerning residents' cars: about a third of our adult residents (i.e.,
1/3 of about 175, or about 57 annually) bring cars to the Safehouse. We
guesstimate that, on average, about ten clients - max -at a time will
have cars. They never store them with us, but, rather, they take them to
work, school, etc., during the day.
Please let me know if I should parse this more or redraft for some
reason.
Thanks.
