[OldNorth] 5th St. Traffic Calming

[Old East Davis]

Thanks.

The urgency of this traffic calming proposal was demonstrated again 
last week:  a pedestrian was hit by a car at E and 5th, and 
transported to UC Davis Med Center via helicopter from Central Park.

When it comes time for the public hearing, Old North and other 
neighborhoods should turn out +300 residents.

best regards,

Michael Harrington

Old East Folks--

	As you may know, the Old North Davis Neighborhood Association 
(ONDNA) has been working on 5th St traffic calming for some time.  We 
have put a presentation on our web site that contains our explanation 
for the necessity of this, and a proposed solution to the very high 
accident rate on that street.  You can find it at our neighborhood 
web site:  www.oldnorthdavis.org.

	There are two versions:  a Power Point slide show that will 
be somewhat higher definition, and, for those without Power Point 
software, an *.html version that will run on the MS Explore web 
browser.  If anyone has trouble viewing it in either of these 
formats, please let us know and we'll try to get it to you via 
another software package.

	There are notes at the bottom of the page that help to 
explain the slides, but if anyone has questions they may contact me 
(Bruce Winterhalder; winterety at sbcglobal.net) or the ON contact 
person on this issue, Steve Tracy (stracy at davis.com).

	Please take a careful look at the information we have 
assembled and help us to work with the City to effectively address 
auto, bicycle and pedestrian safety on 5th.  Thanks,

		Bruce
