  • Hello, I am curious if the commercial truck loading zone at Home and Monroe is still in your plan. If so, are there plans to shield neighboring properties from noise. Specifically soundproofing concrete walls like those adjacent to the Safeway truck loading dock that preserve the privacy and quality of residential yards. Thank you.

    Number$Nut asked 23 days ago

    The westbound lane of Monroe Street, east of the Home Avenue intersection, is wider to accommodate truck loading/unloading in this area. This decision is based on community feedback received at the February 2024 open house. There are no plans for additional sound-proofing, as we do not anticipate an increase in truck loading/unloading from current conditions. 

  • I'm sorry I couldn't make the open house. I'm very excited to see sidewalks on Monroe! I'm checking to see that street parking will remain available on at least parts of Monroe. (I really like the off-street bike paths on Linwoods, but double bike lanes on both sides of the street, with no parking along long blocks, is a mess. Just want to make sure that isn't going to happen here.) I'm not sure if there are plans to add curbs or anything to Monroe.

    Samantha asked 2 months ago

    Yes - street parking will remain available on parts of Monroe. Linwood is considered an arterial, and is not intended for street parking. Monroe is a collector and street parking is allowed and will be maintained on the unimproved side of the road.
