To the Members of the City Council nark Lane & C-larlottesville, Virginia Woodland Drive Gentlemen: Your committee has investigated the petitions of the residents of Park Lane and Woodland Drive and we find that those living on the north end of Woodland Drive are very much opposed to this street being connected as they feel that a dead end street is much safer. The residents, however, of the south end are very much in favor of having this street connected as it is very inconvenient to them or any service trucks using this street. It is our recommendation, therefore, that if the proper right-of-way can be secured that this street be made con- tinuous between Park Lane and Cleveland Avenue. In respect to Park Lane, this is only approximately thirty (30) feet in width and we recommend thEt, before it is taken over by the City, an additional width of ten (10) feet be secured.
