Golden Valley.
Discussion then focused on how the new facility would improve fire department staffing and facility
efficiency. He mentioned it would also create an, opportunity to improve traffic and intersections in
that area. Discussion also focused on concerns regarding safety and traffic and the opportunity to
improve amenities at Scheid with the new facility. Key concerns and opportu n i ties:
Concerns:
- Eliminating green space at Scheid Park
- Many residents feel strongly this is the only community park east of Highway 100
- Would like to see the fire station moved as far to the east in the park as possible. Consider closing
the road on the, east side of the park and purchasing the house on triangle parcel to utilize for the
new station proposal.
- Traffic
- Turning from Golden Valley Road into and' out of the park
- Losing the parks identity.
- Pedestrians crossing Golden Valley Road from, the north
Pedestrian, walkway should be maintained on north side of park
