Subject: Re: Closing of Chalet Road/from Lee Edwards, TTHA
Rod Slifer
Mayor, Town of Vail
Dear Rod:
Jack Woodhull has asked me to write to you on behalf of the Texas Townhouse
Association, with reference to the closing of Chalet Road, which faces opposite
our row of townhouses. As you know, the road is closed all winter for
snow storage and parking for special events, and we would like to suggest that
the road remain closed over the summer season as well. I understand the
road is closed at the moment while construction materials are stored there for
the streetscape construction that is currently underway in the town of Vail.
Last summer we had some instances of extremely fast drivers careening down
Chalet Road, who almost ran down children playing outside our townhouses.
A police report was filed and as I recall, Jack Woodhull's son tried to
apprehend the driver of one of the vehicles and was able to get a license plate
number. This individual returned a second day--again driving too
fast. Obviously this kind of behaviour jeopardises the safety of our
children. As owners of the condominiums at Texas Townhouses, we also have
ownership of the section of Gore Creek Drive that fronts our buildings.
We pay for snow removal, paving and upkeep of that particular part of the
Drive. Chalet Road spills into Gore Creek Drive and essentially those who
drive on it turn onto our privately owned section of the Drive.
We do hope you and the Town Council of Vail will consider the closing of Chalet
Road (of course, we realise there must be access for police and other emergency
vehicles) as a safety measure for our homeowners.
We look forward to seeing you in Vail in July.
Very best regards from Lee MacCormick Edwards, President, Texas Townhouses
