Select M August 12, 1986 OW7- Mr Marshall referenced residents' concerns regarding a cut - through to Hancock Avenue and commented that he would not support such a plan, even if it was not prevented by the railroad right -of --way. All members agreed with this view. Regarding a completion date for the study, it was felt that it might be a two phase project, to include the actual impact of ultimate development in the area. Mr. Marshall said that he would want funding of the study within the 1987 Fawn Meeting cycle in the event an appropriation is found to be necessary. Mr. Schuman, 11 Hancock Avenue, expressed the appreciation of area residents for the response by the Board and the discussion taking place that evening. He stated that neighborhood concerns were not based can a cut - through to.Hancock Avenue but on the impact of traffic abutting their back- yards. Mr. Fortmann, 5 Harrington Road, agreed, noting that three, and soon four, large scale developments would be operating in the area, with no concern shown by the developers about the resultant traffic problems. He supported the idea of a study of the whole problem.
