However, they describe the situation with respect to a major north-south collector road proposed on the east side of the ball fields planned on West Palouse River Drive. The city council will make the final decision with input from the transportation commission.</div> <div minmax_bound="true"> </div> <div minmax_bound="true">Very late in the planning process, city staff told the Fields Planning Committee that there would have to be such a road. On Oct. 2 the FPC voted unanimously against such a road. </div> <div
minmax_bound="true"> </div> <div minmax_bound="true">Why?</div> <div minmax_bound="true"> </div> <div minmax_bound="true">It will add at least $1 million to the cost of the ball fields. This location will diminish the size of one of the playing fields. A major collector road adjacent to the ball fields is unsafe. The proposed road would funnel traffic from a 240-acre subdivision up Conestoga through Frontier Addition. Neighbors feel this is unsafe.</div> <div minmax_bound="true"> </div> <div minmax_bound="true">Aaron Ament answers these questions: No, yes, yes, yes! He has listened to our neighborhood concerns. If you care about your neighborhood, vote for Ament.</div> <div minmax_bound="true"> </div> <div minmax_bound="true">Gail H.
