Police Department <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Scott Harticker, Senior Planner <br />Jeffrey A. Beahen, Chief of Polic~/ <br />May 28, 2003 <br /> <br />West Oaks Development <br /> <br />I have reviewed the proposed plat for the West Oaks Development and I do have one <br />concern with the proposed plan. The police department would prefer to see t 83~d as a <br />through street versus a proposed cul-de-sac. This is for public safety reasons, as we believe <br />that a through street offers far greater accessibility for emergency response vehicles. <br /> <br />_Although cul-de-sacs may offer a traffic calming effect, the t~affic patterns m this section of <br />Elk River are very low and the positive potential calming effects do not outveeigh our desire <br />for unimpeded emergency access. <br /> <br /> <br />
