Re: Westfield Park
Dear Bruce:
We have completed our review of the Westfield Park landscape plan and proposed traffic calming
plan for Seneca Street which were prepared by your office. The following summarizes our review
comments:
► In the area between Ambrosia Place and Carmela Court, the distance provided between the
centerline of the row of bollards and the centerline of the trees appears to be only 10 feet
with the row of bollards less than 5 feet from the water main. This precludes access to the
area for maintenance/repair work without removing trees or bollards or both. Repair costs
in these areas will be substantially greater due to the reconstruction of islands, replacement
of the bollards, potential replacement of trees, etc. In addition, the time required to repair
main breaks will be longer due to the time spent working around these obstacles. Can the
trees be set back farther and the bollards set farther from the water main to help minimize
these impacts?
► Please provide a detail of the bollards. Could the design allow for easy removal or must they
be permanently set in the street?
► In the area between Painted Desert Court and Corydalis Court, the distance between the rows
of trees on the west side of Seneca appears to be only 15 feet. Again, this essentially
precludes access to the area for maintenance/repair work without removing trees. The same
impacts of increased costs and extended repair times noted above would apply to this
location. Can more space be provided?
► From the standpoint of sanitary sewer, an additional manhole is needed between Painted
Desert Court and Corydalis Court to maximize the distance from sewer to the flowline at the
islands on the east side of Seneca.
