Email to Aldermen Charlie Hight and Murry Witcher

Charlie and Murry,
It is my understanding that one of the main considerations in establishing overlay districts will be the rate of traffic accidents in the area being considered.

I have reviewed a traffic accident summary report prepared by Traffic Services of North Little Rock for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2008. It appears that the locations of McCain and Landers ranked first, and McCain and Warden ranked third in the rate of traffic accidents, followed by McCain and North Hills at ninth (still high). This must be taken into consideration in recommending these overlay districts.

I am opposed to the overlay district on Warden Road between Somers and West Commercial because of the proximity to the homes on Oak Tree Circle in Lakewood Northeast. I am also opposed to an overlay district on McCain Blvd between North Hills and McCain Mall because of the proximity to homes in Heritage Park.

I ask that you take this into consideration. Thank you.

Charlie Knott
President
Northeast Lakewood Associated Neighborhoods
