Traffie Hazards *The. traffic. clensity on Greenwood. Ashland and ýChestnut avenues will doubtless. be increased on the order of 50 per cent. Eaceh ofteesret open only at oneé end and now carnies traffie'over 750 feet, of frontage. "ýWithout siclewalks pedestriaris must walk in'the streets: children wil play 'iti the :streets; bicyclists will also travel in the streets. . . It Wpuld, beadoubt- fui argument if asserted fhat becaise of ifs location and comparative imac- cessibi]ity:there will be fewer vehizles OPeraàting through these ý proposed streets. and because of their narrowness such vehicles will operate at slow speed. "No alleys are provided, whlch means that the ash and garbage cans will be - 1eee4ed ~at the eur~b, -snce n rvlit for driveways is made other than those leading to attached garages facing the stet.Discussès Area Featflre *"tis stated that the area is ap- proxitnately eight acres, whlch is 348,000 square feet. On the basis of 44 dwellingq. this is substantially a grass area of *7.900 square feet p)er dwelling. De-* ducting an estimated road area 30 feet vide .and 1,275 which lineal footapge it would appear to aLgregate, oroduces a gross area of 38.000 plus,. The aver- ai,(, nt lot area therefore becomne7 7,6.50 square feet. Nineteen of the lots have a net area of sub-tantiallv 6,000 souare feet each ' which means that the net area ofthie larger lotts woffld aver- age about 7,800 square feet. HZowever, on a gross area standpbint, the present density in the adjaceent area iq about' onie dwelling~ per 14,200 square feet. Thi'q figure is approximate. * "On a gross area hasis.and w'zng the foi'egýoing figure-, the average lot area' in the ;nrooosed development. is but 56 per cent of th~e average lot area of ex- isting dwvellings. or, stating it the other wvay, the density. of the proposed de- * velopmnent is- more than 1.75 timies the existing development, WilI flot the lire hazard be appreciably increased?
