RE: POUDRE PLAINS SUBDIVISION
Dear Debbie:
At a meeting on February 19 , 1988. with City staff, I recommended
that this development provide pedestrian access to and from Irish
Elementary School. Access could be provided by a separated side-
walk along the south side of Vine Drive to Irish Drive, or by a
pedestrian walk from the south area of the development across
private property to Impala Drive.
I have looked at both alternatives and recommend the connection to
Impala Drive. This connection involves acquisition of a pedestrian
easement and construction of a walkway from the end of the cul-de-
sac to Impala Drive. Access along Vine Drive will require acquisition
of right-of-way, moving power poles and fences and construction of
a significantly greater length of sidewalk which does not appear cost
effective when the needs of this development can be met by use of the
shorter route to Impala Drive.
Please call if you have further questions .
Sincerely,
Aüu t W-L°
Elaine W. Spencer
