In addition to the neighborhood's principal concerns which I sent you last Tuesday (copy attached), here are seven specific questions pertaining to Jefferson Avenue that have come out of reading the documents and neighborhood discussions:

1. Will water, sewer, or gas service be interrupted, and if so for how long, and how will neighbors be accommodated during such interruptions?
2. Observing that streetlights have been repositioned to accommodate driveways, how is the placement of parkway trees being planned as part of the overall layout of the north side of Jefferson Avenue, and how many trees will be planted?
3. Does the repositioning of streetlights create dark patches along Jefferson Avenue or increase the light into windows on the south side of Jefferson Avenue?
4. Although there is only one Jefferson Avenue address identified, there appear to be plans for two driveways fronting to Jefferson Avenue; has it been determined that the driveway for Lot #4 (5742 Nelson Court) will be to Jefferson Avenue rather than Nelson Court?
5. Will the broken sections of curb on the south side of Jefferson Avenue be replaced during (or possibly before) the total reconstruction of Jefferson Avenue?
6. Will the parkway trees on the south side of Jefferson Avenue be protected by fencing during street reconstruction?
7. Within the hours when on-street parking is allowed, and only until construction fencing encloses the area, do the neighbors have the Village's permission to park on the now-dedicated grassy right-of-way on the north side of Jefferson Avenue without being ticketed?
