On Wednesday, August 3, 2016, the Steering Committee for the
Brentwood Neighborhood Association approved a motion to offer support for the
idea of the Grover Family Lane Project.
The Brentwood Neighborhood Association (BNA) has a long history of
supporting multi-modal transportation efforts and exploring safe routes for
cyclists and pedestrians throughout our neighborhood. Population growth and traffic congestion in
the area are strong arguments for a dedicated cycle and pedestrian lane along
Grover Avenue. The lack of sidewalks, lane striping and coherent speed
mitigation are also compelling arguments for the project. This project has the potential to enhance
public safety and encourage sustainable modes of transportation.
The continued support of the Steering Committee of the BNA
is conditioned on the project receiving 60% support from households inside the
survey area that has been determined by the Neighborhood Partnering
Program. Our support at this time cannot
serve to represent the opinions or views of residents in Brentwood who live in
the defined survey area. Each resident
will have the opportunity to consider the merits of the project and vote
accordingly. It is also important to
note that even if the 60% support threshold is met, there will still be
opportunities for community input in the implementation of the project.
The resolution adopted by the Steering Committee includes
the caveat that we only speak on behalf of the portion of the proposed project
that falls within the boundaries of Brentwood. We do not speak for Crestview
residents or on behalf of any neighborhood association or group within the area
of Crestview.
We encourage residents within the survey area and the
greater community to thoughtfully consider the Grover Family Lane Project and
the potential benefits to the quality of life within our community.
