The Turlock City Council will once again consider Sacred Heart Catholic Church's request for the City to abandon one block of Cooper Avenue and allow the church to take over the property.In April, the City Council decided to hold off on abandoning the section of Cooper Avenue that sits between two Sacred Heart school campuses so that the City could facilitate a discussion between the church and its neighbors - a number of whom have voiced continued opposition to the street abandonment.On May 26, City Manager Gary Hampton convened a meeting with Sacred Heart administration and neighborhood representatives. According to a City staff report, the two groups could not come to a consensus. The neighborhood representatives said they could not support the street abandonment.The neighbors' main concerns are the loss of public street access for a private purpose, the blocking of free access to move within the neighborhood, increased response times for emergency vehicles, additional traffic on surrounding streets and potential for traffic back-ups with parents dropping off students attending Sacred Heart schools."My biggest concern I had 10 years ago when I brought this to the council was emergency response...How much is my life and my property and my neighbors' lives and their property worth to Sacred Heart and now I say to the City," said Cooper Avenue resident Amy Boylan-Mendes at the April City Council meeting.Sacred Heart has been trying to get the City to abandon the street for decades.
