SUBJECT: LETTER FROM BARTON ASCHMAN DATED DECEMBER 18, 1989
DATE:
January 2, 1990
Russell, on December 18, 1989, you received a letter from Mr. Ken Marshall
regarding the Park West Commerce Center request for thoroughfare
realignment. In that correspondence, Mr. Marshall indicated that the
relocation of the six-lane divided roadway appeared satisfactory. He went
on to state that potential down-sizing of the road from six-lane to four
was more problematic and required much more detailed analysis.
He posed five questions, some of which will not be resolved until Barton
Aschman has had time to study the issue more carefully. Specifically,
questions #l-impact on other major thoroughfares, #4-justification of
impacts to Airline Drive, and #5-where are the 10,600 plus generated
trips, require more thorough analysis.
His question regarding the thoughts of Santa Fe Pacific ($2), can be
answered by stating that Santa Fe strongly supports the Prentiss
proposal. The question regarding construction costs of Southwestern
Boulevard (#3), can be addressed by suggesting that Prentiss is willing to
pay his fair share of road improvements, just as any other developer would
be required.
In sum, then, it is my understanding that our consultant supports the
realignment of the thoroughfare, is not yet in a position to offer an
opinion regarding reduction in thoroughfare width.
