Dear Council Members
As .the.-new -owners of the ,former Liberty House,Properties ,`.
Bedford .Properties has .encountered' difficulties `with the
traffic flow, or . lack ;thereof, on. Dublin Blvd.,", In prior'
meetings,..with the council , I have expressed a desire for
a median cut .of Dublin Blvd in`front of ,the 'Orchard Supply
Hardware'.'Store:
Mr. .Lee •Thompson, Dublin City Engineer, `has been very helpful
in .helping :us to expedite this matter. He informs. me .that a
study ',and .report on the median cut .would . cost approximately
$1 ,300 . "- We •will pay for such a study and the cost of the
construction .of the median break, should it .be an acceptable
.: alternate method of handling traffic, if we'-could advance our
study in time and proceed immediately.
. Should the median cut .be constructed; traffic flow would be
increased drastically -and would assist us ..in marketing the
vacant .space, leading to a 'fu11 and prosperous center to the
. benefit of Bedford Properties , the tenants of the center and
the City of Dublin and its constituents .
Thank you for :your time and consideration.
