Mr. Leonard has observed unsafe driving countless times on both Westside Rd and Nelson Siding Rd. The assumption is that the committee will work to head off what could end up being a traffic fatality due to the unsafe driving conditions. We also understand there is a parallel committee that will be working on road standards and we would help to coordinate any decision making or action between the two groups. 4. We will need to develop solutions and coordinate actions with multiple agencies. Have you worked in a team environment in the past? If so, please elaborate. We have specific experience working with municipalities and school districts on traffic maneuvers, traffic control, and design improvements related safety. In addition to designing transportation and traffic control Mr. Leonard has also worked in the field performing traffic studies and setting up traffic control elements. 5. Can you be fair and unbiased when it comes to selecting solutions to the issue of traffic? Yes. We understand there are lot of people with a vested interested and a lot of ideas about how to solve the issue. Our approach would be to engage with the committee and listen to the public in an effort to help develop a range of practical options and the associated budget and/or schedule for implementation.
