CHRISTMAS LANE TURNING ~ESTRICTION COMPLAINT Marcie Parker voiced her disagreement with the no turning regu- lation on Christmas Lane. She feels the law is not correct and the road is public and should not be regulated like a private road. Haugen explained that due to the concern of the residents for their children's safety while waiting for the school bus along a very narrow road, the no right turn from the south would pro- hibit the use of this road as a short cut to Highway 7. This traffic problem was discussed recently but any decision was postponed until the completion of the corridor study. TAX FORFEITED PROPERTIES RESOLUTION #125--86 .
