City Council Minutes <br /> May 3,2022 <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br /> about how the grade used to be much steeper than it is now. Mr. Spiczka also <br /> said himself, Emma Clarke, and Tim Houle met at Coleman Drive before the <br /> Council meeting and discussed that there is a natural grade if you could take <br /> Coleman Drive and stretch out and it would not be near as steep. He said the <br /> other thing they noticed was if they did curve the road, you could see traffic <br /> coming from the South. He stated that these ideas would be in the City right <br /> away.
