7/19/83 Page -14- Tom Oliver '~4 South Carter Court Wished to address Council regarding the park that Bill Suitts was to install behind Mission Greens - July 15th has passed and all that is there is very tall weeds. They have been no improvements at all - there is a bike path, but falls far short of a park. Two homes have been built in the Mission Greens area and a third has been started so couldn't see any reason why something isn't being done on the park.

Administrator Wurl advised that the drainage problems on the east end of Mission Greens was promoted by the letter and work was com- menced today to resolve this problem. Also advised that the paving on Hoover Street would begin soon also. Councilwoman Morris Wished clarification that the letter did state that if all improvements were not made within 30 days the bond would be called upon. Attorney Rautenstraus verified this.

Had been told that a speed bump could not be installed nor stop signs. Was concerned that her next call to the Police Dept. would be that one of the children in the area was seriously injured. It seems that with what happened in the Windmill pointe area with the explosion, there was a problem with street signs and there had to be a tragedy involved before something was done in this respect. Requested council do something about the heavy traffic on Hoover before another tragedy occurs. Suggested that the construction trucks Betty Johnson, 270 Hoover St. Traffic on Hoover Ave.
