Dear Cameron,
December 21, 2007
Sent via Facsimile 416-2020
This in regards to the most recent requirement by the Engineering and Transportation Departments to
move the sidewalk located along the Shields Street, of the above project, several feet to the West. This
issue was discussed yesterday, December 20, 2007, at the City's office. Unfortunately, I was not aware
of such meeting, but would wish very much to continue the discussion on the subject. This discussion,
of course, would not in any way delay the schedule of Public Hearing.
Our request of retaining the sidewalk as it is currently designed and initially approved, is not motivated
by anything other than public benefit, convenience and appearance for generation to come. By moving
the sidewalk so close ( 36 inches) to the large building would curb the enjoyment of walking residents
and pedestrians. It is the desire of our team to provide a project that is user friendly and great asset to
the community. I personally devote much of my energy and abilities for such purpose and strongly believe
that this sentimert echoes the City's staff.
There are few structures on Shields that can be cumbersome for future widening of Shields Street.
Therefore, I request one more brief meeting on site, so we can carefully assess all pertinent issues.
Please advise of your convenient time, so I can assemble our team for the meeting.
Finally, I wish to extend my gratitude for your and your colleagues great work, help and fairness in the
project approval process of our past and present projects.
Sincerely,
Barbara Siek, Ma r
