Presently Carlton St. is
Myrtle Ave intersection
into a railroad track.
an unimproved dirt rtad which at the
runs less than one (1) block and dead ends
A sidewalk would encourage pedestrian traffic between two commercial
projects now under construction. There is absolutely no benefit
to either premises, since neither is designed to accommodate pedestrian
traffic.
Both properties have experienced theft and vandal~sm during construc-
tion and a sidewalk would increase the probability of these criminal
acts in what already is a high crime area. There is absolutely no
reason for a pedestrian to be utilizing Carlton Street which dead
ends.
The sidewalk might further increase the possibility of pedestrian
traffic crossing the railroad tracks, at an unauthorized crossing,
which is particularly dangerous due to obscured vision by trees
and a sharp~ bend in the tracks. Again it has been observed that
undisciplined neighborhood children have vandalized the tracks by stackin~
rocks and small bolders on top of the track. Quite frequently they
will pick up the rocks and throw them at other children, pedestrians,
or the buildings now under construction.
In short there is no practical reason why a sidewalk should be
required as far as usage , other than usage which would be detrimental
to the properties under construction.

Sidewalk Waiver: Carlton Street
January 20, 1986
Interdepartment Correspondence Sheet
This request is for a waiver on the south side of Carlton Street between Myrtle
Avenue and the railroad tracks. There is only a 20. right-of-way on Carlton Street.
A requirement of development of the property to the north is that a 20. wide
pavement be installed. Since this will not provide room for the installation of a
sidewalk it is my recommendation that the sidewalk waiver be granted.
