             A) A little history, prior to them closing the left hand turn onto

             cut down the traffic by over 60% or more. Additionally, the
             recent speed humps have also helped deter cut through traffic.
             Therefore traffic really isn’t that bad.
             B) Closing these roads would be devastating for an
             emergency situation. I can tell you every time I have seen a
             Fire Truck/EMS come into the neighborhood they use 27th
             Avenue. Why? Because it is the quickest way to help the
             problem. Closing these roads would cause severe lag time for
             emergency vehicles to respond to a problem.

             C) We who live here want the access to our neighborhood
             without having to get onto Bayview, Federal, Commercial or
             Oakland Park. Closing access to these interior roads would
             put a terrible burden on all of us trying to get into our homes.
             We do not want to drive on the main four roads because those
             are for individuals who do not live here.”
