Mueller Lake Park Outdoor Amphitheater
Grove Concerns
RECEIVED Mon., Aug. 17, 2015
Dear Editor,
I applaud Milestone for its openness in designing its plan for the Grove ["Grove Matters," News, Aug. 14], but I have concerns about the proposed plan as it is currently presented:
1) Density greater than the Mueller development
2) Parking in general, especially the lack of underground parking and street parking in residential areas
3) Street width: The streets should meet the current specs for Austin, allowing parking on both sides of the street in the residential areas.
4) Truck access: Trucks should have plenty of room to make turns and to turn around when supplying the grocery store, other retail stores, and restaurants.
5) Access to 45th Street: The planned access to 45th Street should only be for pedestrians and possibly bicycles.
6) Flood control for neighborhoods adjoining the Grove
7) Traffic at intersections:
a) Jefferson & 35th
b) Jefferson & Bull Creek
c) Jackson & Bull Creek
d) Jackson & 35th
e) 45th & Bull Creek
f) 45th & Mopac
