T <br />O <br />W <br />CN <br />B <br />I <br />E <br />R <br />� e &X 4W • <br />10 • <br />• <br />Published by the Arden Association <br />No. 116 March - April 1978 <br />"Let us, since life can little more supply <br />Than just to look about us, and to die, <br />Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man: <br />A mighty maze! but not without a plan." <br />--Alexander Pope, 1688-1744 <br />The Arden Hills Planning Commission has <br />begun its study of the maze in and around <br />County Road E, and a couple of good ideas <br />have surfaced. One main concern is the un- <br />sightly power lines and power poles that <br />line the road; these, of course, could be <br />buried. Another problem is the great var- <br />iety of signs locating each business. These <br />could be made less obtrusive if the speed <br />along E could be reduced. A slower speed <br />would also allow the signs to remain more <br />visible to the auto traffic even after the <br />desired trees and shrubs are planted. <br />It was also noted that pedestrian traffic must be considered, and perhaps Arden <br />Hills "possibly could provide for a trail of some sort". (That term "trail" <br />always makes me uncomfortable. I feel as though I have to jog along the thing <br />with my bow and arrow at the ready. Couldn't they say "walkway" instead? Some <br />of us more urban types aren't ready yet for a "trail".) At any rate, our Plan- <br />ning Commission is on the moveI <br />Along with the plans for County Road E. Flaherty's is working with the City <br />trying to figure out what should be done concerning the new addition to the <br />bowling alley and the associated traffic problems. Right now, Connelly Avenue <br />goes north off of E, between Flaherty's and MacDonalds, for about a block. At <br />the end of Connelly, you can turn either right or left, but both directions <br />dead-end shortly. It is proposed to extend Connelly around the back of Fla- <br />herty's and have it come out on E again between Flaherty's and the gas station. <br />Currently the strip of land between the bowling alley and the gas station is <br />a sewer easement. One suggestion is to make this proposed loop into a one-way <br />street, but Flaherty's isn't sure this is a particularly good idea. Pat Fla- <br />herty feels that the problem with County Road E is the speed limit there, which <br />he thinks is too fast. <br />In an exclusive interview with Dick Flaherty (actually, we were both at <br />Wakota Arena watching our kids skate on the Moundsview Junior Varsity hockey <br />team), he said they hope to start the new addition this spring. They want to <br />'finish as much as possible over the summer, between the major bowling seasons. <br />(Moundsview beat the South St. Paul JV 4-2.) <br />' Had two phone calls this month -from people whose homes bad been robbed. <br />Apparently there has been quite a rash of burglaries in the Arden Hills -Shore- <br />view area since Christmas, so be extra careful. The Ramsey County Sheriff's <br />Office suggests the best protection is for neighbors to keep an eye on each <br />
