Issue #1 ,[object Object],[object Object]
High Density Zoning ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Dense Zoning = Dense Traffic ,[object Object],[object Object]
Why Is Moderate  or  High Density Traffic Bad For Indian Hills? ,[object Object],[object Object]
Dense Traffic = Unsafe Street ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
R-4 Zoning Is near the bottom of the ‘S’ Curves on Indian Hills Drive – the dense traffic does not go through the ‘S’ curves.

[object Object],[object Object],Traffic Study?
Issue #2 ,[object Object]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],Transient Traffic = Unsafe Street
Keep Temporary Barrier For Safety ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Barrier –  A temporary barrier must be maintained   at the end of Indian Hills Drive  until the collector street (Blaine) connects to Palouse River Drive
Precedent for Barrier ,[object Object],[object Object]
3 rd  Street looking towards Mountain View Road
Lovely Barrier at Travois Way
Precedent for Temporary Barrier ,[object Object],[object Object]
We are asking for a similar consideration. There is a legal precedent in the city of Moscow for barriers to remain until other streets are connected, to relieve traffic flow.
The IHTF is happy that the Thompsons chose to actively support the placement of the barricades on Indian Hills Sixth in the application.  The neighbors recognize that the Thompson family is receptive to their concerns.
Excerpt from application:  The Applicant supports the neighbors desire to have temporary  barricades located on Indian Hills Drive;  one at the currently stubbed location and the other barricade located at the east end of the lot just east of the Poloma Drive intersection. This would provide for a hammerhead turnaround for emergency vehicles and also address the through traffic concerns of the existing neighbors until such a time as Blaine Street is connected through to Palouse River Drive.
