that they were the catalyst in other neighborhood groups Bouchard praised raser for her work in the group her it probably would have gone she said was her energy and her persis tence and her connection with city government that got us going I hope that whoever takes her place would carry on what Bouchard said she hopes the next councilor will continue to push for the implementation of the Loudon Road Corridor Study a satellite library and affordable housing City Manager Duncan Ballan tyne also commended raser for her work on the council think that her key characteris tic that has served the ward well has been he said Ballantyne said because of ras constant vigilance in informing the code enforcement department about code violations in the city such as signs hanging on telephone poles the city created a new posi tion in the department position is due in large part to our inefficiency to respond to all of the violations Marilyn brought to he said Although raser is proud of the work done for her ward she knows more her successor will have to do are problems in all parts of the city but this particular area of the city needs attention and she said raser said the main issue fac ing the next councilor will be the same one she faced: development According to raser the new councilor will be in a position to affect development by implement ing the corridor study and the new zoning ordinance as well as the Manchester Street expansion plan and the potential extension of Regional Drive to Airport Road The Loudon Road Corridor Study which was recently present ed to the planning board and will go before the council in October involves adding turning lanes more vegetation and cutting down on the number of raser said Right now raser said there are 65 curb cuts entrances and exits on both sides of Loudon Road adding to its congestion She hopes the study will call attention to this The new zoning ordinance which the council is reviewing line by line is scheduled to be imple mented after a public hearing in October raser is advocating for zoning that will help the Heights which she describes as a neighbor hood by development The Ward 8 street expansion plans which include Manchester Street and Regional Drive are also hot topics facing the ward Con struction to change parts of Man chester Street to three lanes is scheduled to begin next spring Plans to increase the area from Banks Chevrolet to Airport Road to five lanes is likely to follow the next year The Regional Drive expansion which raser said received approval yet involves creating a connector road between Airport Road and Regional Drive so drivers can reach Route 106 without taking Pembroke Road or Loudon Road raser has also pushed for an improved community center for the Heights and traffic calming mea sures for Loudon Road Both are starting to happen The police department has received grants for the last two years to spend extra time patrolling Loudon Road in the summers According to Community Resource Officer Dan Reilly there were 344 accidents on Loudon Road from Jan 1 to Aug 25 this year Dur ing the two month period in July and August when the police depart ment stepped up its watch on Loudon Road officers issued 169 traffic citations And as for the community center the city just received a $50000 grant to start its planning big dream for all of us over here is to have a community center that befits what we have over here in the Heights not just for teens but for the elderly and ras er said After 10 years on the job raser resist leaving her succes sor whoever that is a piece of advice really got to be on the swivel over she said just zero in on little pockets got to deal with the whole area the big picture you let up for a sec COMPUTER TUTOR
