Metzger, <br />addressed to the Members of the Common Council and reads as follows: <br />At the Council meeting on May 8, 1989, there was concern as to possible legal <br />ramifications and safety hazards resulting from the closure of the alley. We are <br />also concerned about these hazards and ramifications and would like to propose a <br />compromise to our original plan which we feel would eliminate these problems. <br />I met with Fire Chief Prawat this morning and he informed me that his main concern <br />was that emergency vehicles entering from Ironwood could get blocked in. Wit the <br />closure of the alley they would no longer be able to exit to the West and on to <br />21st Street. <br />Our original plan was to construct a fence from the garage on lot 6 along a line <br />South to the South property line of lot 7. <br />What we propose is the construction of a gate, spanning the 14, right -of -way, and <br />clearly marking it "FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE EXIT ". The vacated right -of -way to the <br />west of the gate would remain clear of obstacles so as to provide easy access to <br />21st Street. <br />With this compromise we feel that we would eliminate the aforementioned problems <br />and also achieve our intended purpose of eliminating the excessive through traffic <br />which creates serious hazards to our children. Your continued concern in this <br />matter is appreciated. <br />Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski - Farrand also read into the record and marked <br />Exhibit 2 a letter from City Engineer John Leszczynski, dated May 10, 1989, and <br />addressed to Kathleen Cekanski - Farrand and reads as follows: <br />
