Mrs. Frances Walter, Supervisor
Town of Queensbury
Queensbury Town Office Bldg.
Glens Falls, N.Y. 12801
Dear Mrs. Walter:'
Thank you for your suggestion of having the Town ''Boaz?d Zook into
a possible solution to the traffic safety problem we have at the exit
roads out of the campus.
The problem is caused by vehicles being parked on the County right-
of-way on Bay Road in close proximety to these exists.' At Thursddy 's
faculty meeting, the concern for injury which nearly occurred on several
occasions was expressed.
The problem has been a continuing one which I think can be Lessened
by posting no parking signs 400 feet each side of both exits. It, of course,
will require the ;considered judgment of your Bott:,�'d in modifying the town
ordinance to include this much needed restriction.
I, very much, appreciate any assistance that can be given;. and because
of the potential for serious injury, I would be equally grateful for whatever
can be done to expedite a solution.
Sincerely yours,
MY
lbrbert D. Brock
