EMS: <br />The impact of closing Price Street as to the delivery of emergency medical care <br />to persons within the Lamar County Courthouse was evaluated by the following <br />factors: <br />RESPONSE TIME: <br />EMS response time will be slightly increased (maybe 30 seconds) if the <br />responding unit is coming from the south or east due to the removal of the <br />closest cross street north of the courthouse. EMS response time will not be <br />impacted if the responding unit is coming from the north. <br />ACCESS: <br />EMS does not park on Price Street when at the courthouse. EMS enters the <br />courthouse throuyh the basement from the parking lot on the north, which is <br />accessed from 1 S Street NW. This is the only access available without steps. <br />S U M MARY: <br />The closing of Price Street will have little impact on the delivery of emergency <br />medical care to persons in the Lamar County Courthouse. Response time and <br />access will be consistent with historical data. This opinion is based upon access <br />to the courthouse being available from the proposed handicapped parking lot or <br />from North Main Street. <br />Kent Klinkerman <br />EMS Director <br />3 <br />
