FOLLOW-UP DISCUSSION - <br /> McG8LI11 ALIGNMENT !Wadley explained to Council that a letter and a <br /> detailed outline of events from 1973 to the <br /> present regarding the alignment of McCaslin <br /> Boulevard (80th Street) were sent to concerned <br /> homeowners. Nuadley recommended to continue with <br /> construction of llcCaslin Boulevard at its current <br /> alignment and either bars or fence the area <br /> directly adjacent to Lots 1,2,3 and 4 at the <br /> Millsborough West Subdivision. Also staff will <br /> look at the possibility of sound fencing, if <br /> needed, based on increased traffic volumes in the <br /> Hilltop Subdivision for properties directly <br /> adjacent to McCaslin Blvd. Hundley also stated <br /> that there was an error in the outline. <br /> Louisville Associates was referred to and it <br /> should have read Louisview Associates. <br /> Mayor Pauson called upon those people wishing to <br /> speak to this issue. <br /> Jerry Foster, 1091 W. Willow, stated that the <br /> alignment of McCaslin has been changed several <br /> times prior to the commencement of construction <br /> and would like to know why it can't be changed <br /> again. Foster wanted to know why a traffic noise <br /> impact study was never done. roster felt that <br /> right-of-way widths and medians seem to vary -- <br /> why aren't they standardised. <br /> Braxton Tabb, 1099 W. Willow, stated that many <br /> changes have occurred in Louisville, i.e., fewer <br /> employees at STC, no regional shopping center is <br /> being built, etc. Tabb referenced minutes from <br /> the 9/18/81 Council Muting wherein Councilwoman <br /> Morris moved that City Attorney Rautenstraus <br /> continue negotiations with property owners for <br /> realignment of the realignment of McCaslin <br /> Blvd. Also in those minutes Tabb stated that <br /> Morris asked for Council support to have <br /> Rautenstraus continue negotiations with the people <br /> involved in the construction for a reasonable <br /> alternative and if there was not a reasonable <br /> alternative, then provide Council with reasons why <br /> not. =ebb feels there was not sufficient effort. <br /> ?ebb also feels be has not been treated fairly and <br /> that notification of commencement of construction <br /> on McCaslin was too late to do anything about. <br /> David Burns, 1023 M. Alder, endorsed comments by <br /> Poster and Tabb. Burns feels that the safety <br /> issue has been raised as a "red herring• stating <br /> that if someone were truly worried about the <br /> safety of McCaslin, they would not have put bike <br /> lanes in the street. Burns also stated that <br /> 2 <br />
