These studies, especially with the scope we are asking for are expensive. We are taking the opportunity to have a 3<sup>rd</sup> party fund this vs. with tax payer money. I believe we have a fundamental duty to collect information if it is there and available.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-The CSX bridge is not envisioned to be constructed as part of Phase I – it will be based on a trigger (i.e. once X number of residential units are permitted or built the bridge’s existence will be required). The EYA development south of town has a similar trigger to build the hiker/biker trail connecting to our portion of it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Public services (police/fire/EMS) will need access to the Cafritz property (if the District Council approves its re-zoning) without using EW Highway or Route 1. The difference of 30 seconds to first responders could be life and death.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-There are a variety of alternate solutions that a thorough transportation study will allow us to evaluate including intersection re-designs, one-ways, do-not enters etc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jonathan<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jonathan W.
