Mr. Kendall could not be present at the hearing but had noted that Kingsland Avenue north of Olive Boulevard could not support heavy truck traffic as indicated in Policies Regarding Growth Management - Transportation. Mr. Goldman responded that Kingsland north of Olive was a residential street and not a "major street" as indicated in the Plan, and therefore, the Plan did not encourage use of Kingsland Avenue north of Olive Boulevard for heavy traffic. Mr. Kendall also had expressed his concern that the Plan should mention repair and maintenance of sidewalks under the section on Growth Management - Residential Neighborhoods. -Mr. Lawrence Lieberman of 7129 Kingsbury Boulevard expressed his opinion that the section Basic Community Qualities - Infrastructure should include a stronger statement regarding long-range capital improvement plans for infrastructure. Mr. Lieberman also inquired about possible mention of mosquito control services in the section on Animal Control. -Mr. Charles Foxworth of 6852 Julian Avenue inquired about possible mention of the proposed light rail system for the St. Louis metropolitan area. Mr. Ollendorff and Mr. Kennedy both stated that while the system was not proposed to be included within the city limits of University City, funding of the project could affect bus service in the metropolitan area. -Other citizens present who inquired generally about the Plan were Ms. Jane Aylward of 402 West Point Court and Mr. William R. Briggs, Jr. of 1200 Pennsylvania.
