for a teen hangout. Just what we here always needed.
Is the City serious?
The intersection is now an accident waiting to happen: Bicyclists, motorcyclists, motorists,
skateboarders, runners, seniors and other walkers.
Plus, the entrance to The Chalet garage (immediately south of the proposed restaurant site on
Remington) is likely to become hazardous if additional traffic is fostered by the restaurant. And
our access to Remington from the garage exit (slightly east of the intersection) will probably
meantaking our lives in our hands each time we want to turn left out of the garage in ordef to get
to and drive down Remington.
Please consider the residents (seniors and others)of this area in making a decision. We do not live
on College, nor do we want to. And this proposal is like forcing College down our throats.

Dear Mr. Shepard:

CURRENT PANNING
Having just become aware of your November 2 letter regarding Raising Cane's Drive -Through
Restaurant, I must go on record, not as opposing the restaurant and its South College access, but
as opposing restaurant access on Remington and Dartmouth.
I have been a resident at the above address for about 5 years, during which time there has been a
constant increase in traffic at the intersection of Remington and Dartmouth.
Why?
On the west side of Remington, for one block between Spring Park -and Dartmouth, there is
access to a strip mall that includes Bank One and Tran's Tai Kwon Do Academy (lots of traffic
for each). On the east side, there is the Spring Creek Country Day School, in operation 12 months
a year, generating heavy traffic in the morning and afternoon as well as on days when they host
special events (cars are then parked up and down Remington and Dartmouth). In addition, we
have the problem of Enterprise parking their cars there as well. And when there is a sponsored
"run" parking is impossible and some of our streets are blocked off.
Next to the Country Day School there are condominium town homes (I think that's what they
are).
The Chalet Apartments (housing only senior citizens) and other multiple -family apartments cover
Dartmouth from Remington to Mathews. Beyond that Dartmouth and the side streets continue to
Stover, with single-family homes.
The intersection of Dartmouth and Remington is often icy during the winter months (we never see
a snowplough or sander). During the warmer weather it becomes a teen driving challenge -- cars
being raced up and down the streets (they seem to love the little hill on Remington) and taking the
intersection corner at full speed (much faster than any speed limit) with radios and boomboxes at
full blast.
