Property access is most efficiently and safely provided by a local street <br />network, with collectors intersecting the trunk highway system at appropriately spaced <br />points. Highways such as TH I0 were constructed to serve regional mobility needs rather <br />than property access, and the proliferation of direct access degrades highway safety and <br />capacity. <br /> <br />For these reasons we appreciate the dedication of fight of way for 156th Avenue <br />Northwest, and the consolidation of highway access at .larvis Street. We look forward to <br />continuing to work with the city and property owners to balance access needs with the <br />need to preserve the highway resource. <br /> <br />An equal opportunity employer <br /> <br /> <br />
