Summary
The city's cross-access ordinance aims to keep traffic off Caraway by linking parking lots, but this case exposed a problem: the private drive behind Gina's carries heavy post office and cut-through traffic with no maintenance or insurance agreements, and neighboring owners have posted 'no through traffic' signs. Board members also heard complaints that the ordinance has been applied inconsistently to recent developments.

Impact analysis
Without shared agreements, a property owner tied into the drive could bear the entire cost of maintaining it.
Future shoppers and the city get better traffic flow if cross-access is eventually worked out.
Property owners along the private drive face liability, maintenance costs, and cut-through traffic; inconsistent enforcement frustrates owners like Philip Barr.
