Attention: Captain Loper SUBJECT: U.S. 27 Traffic island at Reid. Memorial Hospital ma . Dear Captain Loperin ,entrance We would very much like to pursue the removal of several feet of the traffic island. on U.S. 27, as it is creating a problem for southbound traffic that is turning left into our main entrance. We feel that this would create a much smoother flow of traffic at this intersection as it would open up the turning radius for traffic. We are willing to consider our portion of the costs of doing this as soon as we are informed what these costs will be. We would also like to get some relief on light timing during the 8:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. period of time each day. As you recall , I discussed this with you several months ago. This period of time is when we have all of our visitors leaving the hospital and it creates a large bottleneck in our driveway. We will appreciated hearing from you as to what can be done regarding these problems. Sincerely yours, /s/ James G.
