The open <br />ditches also serve as a perfect garbage disposal for the litter of passers-by.

New townhouses to the south and Portsmouth Blvd, to <br />the North, both with curbs and gutters, did nothing to relieve our drainage problems. <br />Southdale is comprised of only tow streets of which both have become thoroqghfares for <br />the townhouses residents. The increased traffic on our narrow streets creates still anoth <br />hazard. Oncoming cars must usually stop and let one pass before the other. This is due <br />to the fact that residents must park beyond the open ditches well into the street right <br />of waz. Southdale has become the "forgotten community" that has been pushed aside for <br />more than ten years. Just ask some of our well established residents. Southdale is more <br />than "a good place for a city pumping station". It is a trhieving community wishing to <br />express its' needs in hope that they may be dealt with now, not a decade from now. Curbs <br />and gutters along with the necessary street improvements is the only feasible solution in <br />the eyes of the taxpayers of Southdale. Such improvements can only make Southdale a bette <br />community for all. Signed by Helen L.
