Most of these questions are up to the state although the City has input. I?m
going to encourage Rob to have the state people in at the next CUF meeting
to explain the current plans. I will try to find them on the internet. The
state had originally included an access road to Central Parkway from
McMicken but I understand that was taken out.

Hi, Cindy, Andrea, and everyone,
Regarding the city?s proposed changes on Riddle, East McMicken, Clifton,
MLK, and I-75, I have a question about (1) what will happen to the land on
East McMicken between MLK and old Hopple (the short dead-end street next to
the old Sunflower Coffee Shop) once it is no longer possible to go from East
McMicken onto MLK. (2) Will all the buildings on that stretch of East
McMicken be torn down and replaced by a wider MLK and some green space?
(3) If there will be some green space there, will the city do some
beautifying tree and bush planting there? (4) Will the city also pay for an
attractive ?Welcome to University Heights? sign/monument there, too?
And if there is to be some general beautifying of the area, (5) would it be
possible, even now, for the city to pay for and plant street trees along
Riddle Road where there are still treeless gaps? Most of our Riddle Road
street trees now are flowering pears, but I would be pleased if the gaps got
filled by whatever small, flowering trees the city deems appropriate.
Thanks,
Sharlotte

I sent an email to the city concerning the proposed changes on Riddle and
Clifton and this is the response (My email is below). If anyone has any
comments or other alternatives, you should let her know. The emphasis should
be on safety.
It seems like the most dangerous turn is the right turn on Clifton
jumping 3 lanes which will not be eliminated under this proposal. Again the
proposal is to widen MLK and eliminate left turns from Riddle onto and from
MLK. The McMicken access will be eliminated under the I-75 plans. Dan is
going to bring it up at the trustees meeting next week, but I see no harm in
polite letters from the neighbors.

Cynthia,
The City and the project team have been trying to find a solution to this
area for quite some time. The I-75 plans to remove Riddle access from
McMicken has only complicated the issue. All of our community input has
been considered (I?ll forward your suggestion to the group). Your
suggestion is a good one and it has been considered, I appreciate it.
The decision has not been made, however, I hope we can come to some
conclusion within the next couple of weeks. This is going to be a tough
call. I?ll keep you informed.
In short, the team has agreed that this was too difficult a decision to make
during the meeting. Everyone has been asked to leave the meeting and
consider the arguments on all sides before casting a vote. There will be a
follow up meeting some time in the near future.

I am a resident of Riddle Road, University Heights. I have recently found
out about plans to change the Riddle Road access to Martin Luther King by
eliminating left turns onto and from MLK from Riddle.
If the McMicken and Riddle intersection is eliminated in the I_75 plans,
access from Riddle will be very limited under these proposals. Turning left
from Probasco onto Clifton Ave. is almost impossible
A better alternative is to limit the restrictions to rush hour which is the
dangerous time. Who is the best person to contact concerning this issue?
