STARING LANE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Date: May 1, 2011
To: Jose Alvarez, DPW Engineer
Subject: Staring Lane Project Requests
From: Gwynn Shamlin, SLCA President

The Executive Committee of the Staring Lane Community Association is asking that this communication serve as means of requesting the following, as related to the Green Light project to widen Staring Lane:

1. Speed Limit remain at 35 mph, thus keeping the neighborhood configuration as found on both South Bluebonnet & Sherwood Forest Blvds. This would add safety measures, i.e., vehicles departing & entering driveways, walkers, bike riders, closeness of residents to street, school busses picking up & dropping off students, etc.

2. At least two (2) electronic signs at different points, indicating the speed each vehicle is traveling and the suggested speed limit.

3. Signal lights at cross-intersections.

4. Partial mature trees (at least 15 ft. in height) & scrubbery in median.

5. Atractive lights in median.

6. The elevation of completed Staring Lane is adjacent to existing properties.

7. Desires of Staring Lane homeowners should be considered with regards to constuction, landscraping and zoning. Any consideration given these requests will be highly appreciated.
