Please be advised that I represent the residents of Abaco
Avenue, which intersects Southwest 27th Avenue to the east. The
recent SPI-13 proposal for Southwest 27th Avenue has heightened
the concern of my neighbors regarding the increased vehicular
traffic in our neighborhood. Five years ago, an SPI-12 district
was approved on Abaco Avenue permitting a 50 foot office tower to
be built on this residential block. At that time, there were
discussions of protecting our street from the increased vehicular
traffic caused by such a structure, however, to date nothing has
been done.
Please find enclosed a petition signed by all the residents
of Abaco Avenue east of Washington Street, requesting that our
street be closed. Please also find enclosed a letter from the
Tigertail Association approving our request.
We ask that you provide your assistance in obtaining a
street closure on Abaco Avenue in compliance with the spirit of
the compromise reached at the City Commission meeting back in
1982, at which time the SPI-12 district was approved. Thank you
in advance for your assistance.

Dear Commissioner Plummer:
This Association has raised, on several occasions, its concern
over traffic cutting through the residential area east of S.W.
27th Avenue and south of U.S.1. This concern has been heightened
by the proposed re -zoning along S.W. 27th Avenue.
For more than eighteen months we have been told that a traffic
engineering study of the whole of the Grove was imminent and
solutions to the problems would be determined when the six-month
study is completed. However, the study has not yet been started.
This Association therefore supports, as an interim and experimental
measure until the study is completed, the request of residents of
the area for Abaco Avenue to be blocked between S.W. 27th Avenue
and Washington Street.
Very truly yours,
Q_c

We, the undersigned residents of Abaco Avenue, request the
City Commission to pass a resolution instructing the appropriate
city agencies to immediately implement a street closure on Abaco
Avenue between S.W. 27th Avenue/Aviation Avenue and Washington
Street.
