Bisgard, Chairperson <br /> Agriculture, Environment & Land Records Committee <br /> Room 116 <br /> City-County Building <br /> Madison, WI 53709 <br /> Dear Shary: <br /> The Dane County Traffic Safety Commission directed me to <br /> forward a letter to you on safety concerns which they have with <br /> the siting of a proposed dog track facility in Section 9 , Town <br /> of Rutland. <br /> The concerns of the Commission revolve around possible safety <br /> problems that could be created on the adjacent town, state, and <br /> county highways, and their intersections because of a possible <br /> inadequacy of the highways to safely handle the peak traffic <br /> loads generated by the proposed dog track facility. <br /> The Commission indicated that the developer should be asked to <br /> provide a detailed traffic study which would consist of <br /> origin/destination and projected peak traffic loads. The <br /> developer should also provide a before-and-after development <br /> capacity analysis for the existing adjacent highway systems, <br /> and cite what improvements and traffic handling requirements <br /> may be needed to accommodate the increased traffic. <br /> We feel this additional study information is needed to insure <br /> that safe and adequately planned and constructed roads and <br /> intersections are provided, and safe traffic control measures <br /> are employed prior to commencement of the dog track facility. <br /> S c4 r� <br /> r I <br /> 44 I ' i) <br /> Jj : <br /> n A.
