Cindy Johnstone, 1607 S. 73 St., commented on lack of completion of a past project
and commented on the current issues of the special assessment billing, drainage, is
opposed to the bump outs, and the parking congestion.
Cheryl, 73 St., commented that the Police Department hasn’t enforced speeding or
traffic regulations, that there are extreme measures proposed to slow down traffic, and
the street was widened years ago to accommodate the emergency vehicles. Cheryl
stated that there are less extreme measures that could be taken to address traffic and
speeds such as: Police enforcement and/or flashing stop signs on S. 73 St. & W.
Orchard St. and W. Lapham St., making the street a one-way going south on S. 73 St.,
traffic signals on S. 73 St. and W. Orchard St., use of speed bumps, and/or the use of
cameras. Cheryl stated that traffic is going too fast northbound and S. 73 Street is
being used as a shortcut. Cheryl said that the narrowing of S. 73 St. is not a benefit to
residents. Cheryl asked the Council to respect the notice that the project will not be
followed through if the majority of the people are opposed to the narrowing of the
street.
Amy Halloran, 1480 S. 94 St., agreed with Cheryl. Ms. Halloran commented on
speeding and parking.
Christopher Stockdale, 1435 S. 73 St., addressed speeding, narrowing, repair, parking
problems, and that Police presence is only there to issue parking tickets. Mr.
Stockdale asked about sump pump connection.
Marianne Lucas, 7309 W. Lapham, commented on construction history, traffic, the
need for lighted stop signs, stop lights on W. National Avenue because it is difficult to
cross W. National Ave. Ms. Lucas stated water is running down Lapham St. and
suspects Aurora of causing problems with water backup.
Chris Mason, 1544 S. 73 St., opposed to the narrowing of the street because
emergency personnel need flexibility, reiterated previous comments, concerned about
safety for pedestrians and vehicles, and believes those people who speed will always
speed.
Tracy Musta, 1573 S. 73 St., addressed her online petition, commented on this
assessment is 50% more than the S. 73 St. homeowners paid in 2016; penalty to
taxpayers when assessment is put on property tax bill, parking concerns, elderly
tenants, rental concerns, and interest rate. Ms. Musta commented on the Fire
Department navigating S. 73 Street, and commented on the loss a family home on S. 72
St.
Jordan Gottfreid, 1460 S. 73 St., opposed the narrowing of the street. Mr. Gottfried
