[NENA] FW: More on Barstow

[John Ingram]

  Hello to All,

   
  If you spoke to everyone whose property backs-up to Barstow, on both sides of the street all the way to Paseo, and asked them why they don't want an automobile bridge over the arroyo, they might explain their opposition. I'll try to explain mine.
   
  Take a look at traffic issues on Wyoming north if you'd like to contemplate how the future might be if there was an automobile bridge across the arroyo at Barstow. 
   
  If there was a bridge at the arroyo now, at the very least there would have been semi-trucks running back and forth emptying the landfill at the end of Barstow north. Imagine that.
   
  In my opinion, the increased traffic on Barstow with a bridge across the arroyo would be a significant negative for our neighborhoods.
   
  I live one street west of Barstow. I can't imagine how awful it would be to have the increased traffic that would result from an automobile bridge. Those whose back yards face Barstow would have a lot more problems than me.
   
  I will continue to organize against a bridge across the arroyo because of the potential problems associated with back-and-forth increased traffic (especially at the corner of Barstow and Alameda) all along Barstow --- past Desert Ridge Middle School --- to Paseo.
   
  For what's it worth, as someone who build a house in the neighborhood in 1991, that's my position.
   
  John

  I have lived on the corner of Betty Sabo and Barstow for the past 8 years (8324 Eagle Rock)...I think we are confusing the roadblock on Betty Sabo with the roadblock at Barstow and the arroyo...About 5 years ago a petition went through the Nor Este neighborhood to block Betty Sabo BECAUSE of the roadblock on the Barstow arroyo...The petition was executed by my former neighbors Paul and Barbara Hewitt...I have possession of this petition...The roadblock on the arroyo is simply there because a bridge was never installed and it was too steep and deep to allow a ford...I am not aware of any agenda, petition or initiative to block the Barstow arroyo bridge...I understand that city planners allocated funds in 07 or 08 to design the bridge and that a possible installation will occur sometime in 09 or 10 if funded by the city.  Nor Este residents signed the near unanimous petition to close Betty Sabo UNTIL the bridge is built, because the arroyo roadblock was funneling all
 Barstow traffic through our neighborhood...According to the petition, the Betty Sabo roadblock will be removed when the Barstow arroyo bridge is built...Personally, I look forward to that day...
