JAL 01 200 • To: Park and Recreation Commissioners The residents in Greenhead Acres—II that live on the south end of Watson Street and on 206th Ave.NW were greatly affected by the removal of the paved access to the railroad trail. The residents feel that we should have been consulted in the decisions regarding this change. It should have been a neighborhood decision. The original location of the access was the most centrally located and provided an easy, safe access to the Woodland Trails Park. The new access that was put in is in an undesirable location. It is not as safe for our children and it is in the opposite direction of the park. A dirt path has existed at the original location of the access for over twelve years. If parking was an issue,parking signs should have been the first approach. Landscaping could have been used to minimize the opening made by the paving crews. The residents listed below are requesting permission to put in an access located at the south end of Watson Street. The residents will perform the work to clear the trail. The exact location of the trail shall be determined between the residents listed below,but will be in the general vicinity of the turnaround area. The residents will perform the work of making the trail. We are also requesting that once we have completed the work on the trail that the Parks commission either pave the trail or have Class 5 spread on the trail to prevent erosion and minimize the upkeep of the trail. This is a small cost compared to the thousands of tax dollars that have been wasted by paving the original access and then having it removed. �� K I. en and Debra Miller / 7/5/0 12758 206th Ave. NW Bill and Deb Honek 7/CA 0 12801 206th Ave.NW Larry Narikawa and Victoria a , 12781 206th Ave.NW 4441/ Rosalind Hogletad ' 1 206th NW • Dennis and Kathy Larson Ry . 12700 206th Ave. NW Mike Leary Watson St. QOM' 4110
