Ltr.
Mr. Mike Brandt, And Members of the Town Board
Town of Queensbury Office Building
Bay and Haviland Roads
Dear Mr. Brandt, And Members,
i
As a concerned parent, I would greatly appreciate your co-operation
in having the portion of Luzerne Road, between Pinewood Road and Burch Road
`— rezoned for a more appropriate speed.
As it stands now there are approximately 40 to 50 children in this
concentrated neighborhood. Our speed limit as it stands right now is 55 mph.
Needless to say, this is a hazard to the children of this area. For the
past eight years , this particular portion of our road has been a haven to
every hot rod driver and drag racer #.n this end of town.
I have seen and talked with J.M. Ogden and Jerry Solomon, they tell me
the only way for the speed limit to be reduced is by requesting action
through the town board, who will then in turn, request the same of the County.
After this phase is complete they will sxbmit a request to the New York
State Dept. of Transportation.
On Monday April 17th, a patrol car was stationed in our yard, with our
permission to observe the traffic situation. The following morning I was
informed that five minutes after he was at this location, it was known to
every cber, that had his or her ears on. . . .This I mUtt_ say upset me greatly,
as I was the one who stated the high rate of speed that was used on this
road. The fact that no drag racers showed up for the first time since the
reads dried up, and. our usual speeders slowed to a crawl, made me appear
to be a LIAR, AND A FOOL. Of which I do not consider myself to be.
In essence, T feel that 30 to 35 mph is a fair speed to a community with
as large a number of children as this one has .
To those who do not care if a child becomes an auto fatality, 1 have
one opinion, they do not have to travel this road if they do not like the
speed limits here.
Enclosed please find a letter signed by the other residents of this
road requesting your cooperation in getting the speed limit reduced.
i
Sincerely,
/s/
Mrs. Donna Clarke
Councilman Robertson- noted that the Board will bring this through the
proper proceedure. . .will turn this over to the Town Clerk. . .
