As you are aware, the Magnolia Property Company is proposing a 250-unit, four-story apartment project very near our neighborhood (7th Avenue & Camelback). This is in addition to Alliance Residential’s adjacent 285-unit project called “Broadstone Uptown” now under construction. These two projects combined add 535 dwelling units to our neighborhood, far exceeding all the dwellings in the Medlock Place Historic District. The additional traffic load from these projects will cause traffic on Colter Street to exceed 1000 vehicles per day; over the limit for a local street. We had several meetings with Magnolia regarding traffic impact and mitigation, and Magnolia had agreed to implement a traffic suppression feature at Third Avenue and Colter Street. Subsequently, the Streets Department (Chris Kowalski) informed Magnolia that traffic suppression would be designed and installed solely by the Streets Department as part of the “Colter Street Project” and/or the “Third Avenue Project”. We are thus forced to rely entirely on the City to finance and implement cut-thru traffic suppression from the Magnolia and Alliance projects. The preliminary designs shown on-line for the Colter Street Project are not sufficient to mitigate the cut-thru traffic. We must have a stronger solution; we expect the “trial” feature on Colter to help determine what this solution will be. Magnolia has asked us to support their zoning change petition at the Village Planning Committee hearing on the 20th. Since the City has assumed leadership and responsibility for effective cut-thru traffic control, on this basis we will support Magnolia’s proposed zoning change subject to the City’s draft stipulations (Z-50-22-4) provided to us on November 17th by Magnolia’s attorney (Brian Greathouse). Sincerely, Ellen Bilbrey, President; Medlock Place Historic District Association Rick Mountjoy, Chairman; Medlock Place Traffic Committee
