Mr. Marvin,
Thank you for your response. Although you have placed a reflective stop bar at the entrance of our street, it is still so
hard to see the street entrance at night. In addition, there is no street sign marking the street anymore. The sign was
on the ground this morning, but I didn't see it when I came home. Are there plans to post the street sign again?

We have also relocated the stop sign and installed a reflective stop bar for Winding Hollow in advance of the
intersection. While these safety measures are appropriate for the interim situation, we will continue to monitor the
traffic in this area and take additional safety measures as appropriate.

early in the project will be restored, and new median mounted lighting will be added to Sandy Lake Road. The retaining
wall that is currently visible from Sandy Lake will no longer be visible once the road is complete. The road in this area
will be raised up above the level of this wall.

marked and it is very hard to see in the dark. The horrible pave stone wall blocks the view of traffic coming west bound
on Sandy Lake, another dangerous situation.
