AGENDA #3(a)1

To: Kumar Nepalli, Traffic Engineering Chapel Hill

Town Council of Chapel Hill

From: The SCHOA and Petitioners supporting Traffic Calming on Silver Creek Trail

Date: January 19, 2006

Topic: REPETITION for Brick Speed Humps

We want to thank the Town Council for approving our need for Traffic Calming on Silver Creek Trail.   As the study found, 90% of the traffic is speeding in our residential area.    This has been a concern for years and we are delighted that we have been able to have a solution agreed upon with your support.

Our subdivision is much like the Oaks of Chapel Hill.   When the traffic calming was petitioned and then approved the residents/HOA believed that the Brick speed humps like those of the Oaks/Meadowmont were what was to be implemented. Kumar clarified that in fact asphalt was approved not what we thought we petitioned for. 

We respectively request that the city approve the decision for Brick Speed Humps for Traffic Calming.    The Silver Creek petitioners and HOA continue our support of this solution.   The petitioners have agreed to pay the difference in addition to the cost to the city.

Again, we thank you for your time and consideration. 

Regards,

Michelle M. Kuplic

SCHOA, President
