Roosevelt Street Reconstruction

The Roosevelt Street resident thanked the council for sending the design back to committee and preserving the street's current width, and asked for a yes vote on the revised plan.

A Roosevelt Street resident thanked alders and staff for revising the plan to keep the street at 29 feet, and asked the committee to approve the revised design.

Asked the council to confirm correct street measurements, thanked them for the one-foot compromise, and requested a parking prohibition on Roosevelt to protect emergency access during pool-season congestion.

Described his own fire department call where access was tricky, worried narrowing would block trailers and emergency vehicles, and asked for a stop sign at the end of the block.

Questioned why recent curb work would be torn out, reported cars traveling 50-60 mph through the cut-through, and warned narrowing would worsen pool-season parking chaos.
