She suggested that it would be a waste of public funds to spend money on a project in which the traffic study suggests no significant impact. Mike Wasley, 302 N Osage Street, stepped forward in opposition to ST- 21- 0003. He noted that other neighbors in opposition did not attend the hearing because they understood that the discussion would be continued. He noted that there are not public sidewalks in the area affected, and residents walk and play in the streets, adding that the connections would create an unnecessary risk to residents.

Mr. Wasley suggested that the plan be amended to remove ST- 21- 0003. Loreen Reynante, 1108 Parc Drive, stepped forward in opposition to ST- 21- 0003.
