March 12,
We residents of South ^brgia Street,Caldwell,hereby ^^t it ion the city to close-
Georgia south of the junction with Beech Street for the reason that it is inadequate
as "backdoor"access to the subdivision off Florida Avenue.
Here are some points to consider:
1)South of Beech,Georgia is a one-lane track with a canal bordering it,not
suitable as a two-way street
2)The nature of Georgia Street promotes speeding,which under the conditions
is reckless driving.For several blocks south of Linden,Georgia is wide and paved,
and the apartments and trailer park fronting it are set well back.At Cherry Street,
Georgia suddenly narrows and becomes gravel.Houses crowd the street,and front yards
spill into the street without separating curbs or sidewalks.Children are at risk
from speeding cars and flying gravel.
3)In the past few months,these incidents have happened on Georgia Street:two
cars have run into the canal south of Beech;a car has gone through a lawn;several
cars have stormed by at 50 to 60 m.p.h.;a dog has been killed;two cars were drag-
racing,etc.
4)Dust and noise are a nuisance
5)Closing Georgia at Beech will slow and reduce the traffic coursing through
this residential neighborhood,preserving the safety of both drivers and resident
children.The subdivision traffic will be routed back to the more suitable Florida Ave.
