Re: Cottonwood & Ida Preliminary PUD, Application #18516
Dear City Commission,
My name is Sky Sterry. I have lived in the Northeast neighborhood at 626 East Peach street for 22 years, I own two
houses in the neighborhood. I also have a business a couple blocks away at 412 North Broadway ave.
I have had the chance to review the plans for the above PUD, and wile I generally support and like the concept, I
have the following concerns.
I do not see anything addressing infrastructure concerns, specifically the effects of increased traffic in the
neighborhood. The only way to get to the development would be N Ida, N Wallace, and E Tamarack.
Traffic in the neighborhood is already a problem. In the winter, Wallace north of Peach is reduced to single lane,
you have to pull over to let oncoming traffic through. Peach at the intersection of Wallace is also reduced to one lane
in the winter. Tamarack is the best option to access the development, but it is inevitable that there would be a
considerable increase in traffic on both Ida and Wallace.
Has the city addressed traffic concerns with the development?
Thanks for your time.
