 Walnut/South/Lillian
Corridor
Pedestrian
Accommodations:
The
committee
continued
discussions
 regarding
the
lack
of
traffic
control
for
vehicles
travelling
the
Walnut/South/Lillian
corridor
and
the
 impact
of
that
traffic
on
the
quality
of
life
for
area
residents
and
businesses.
It
is
difficult
for
adjoining
 residents
to
exit
their
driveways
and
for
traffic
(motoring,
bicycle
and
pedestrians)
to
cross
the
corridor
 with
the
unrestricted

flow.

has
become
a
quality

life
issue
for
residents
living
along
and
 near
the
corridor.
