May 19 Virtual Open House: Questions and Comments Received 10 51. Thank you, Marc. The one think I'd like to point out to your remark about the UNW and Bethel pedestrians... don't forget they're also the drivers. Their abilities don't improve with a few ton vehicle that they drive in those crossings. 52. You haven't had complaints because we were told it was a temporary closure Lydia needs to be a part of the scope of this project as it directly affects the closure of Hamline and Snelling. This affects more kids at bus stops and families in this area making is unsafe. and at Lydia, there are a number of presentations that are given throughout the year which add yet more traffic to the intersection. 53. Maybe no complaints because it was a temporary closure ....so we thought.. 54. That is a good idea. If we are doing this - maybe we need to make sidewalks on Lydia and frankly Hamline to help pedestrians with this. 55. Yep , it said opening back up in November 56. did everyone leave??? 57. but there isn't a good alternate way as you are hearing from people 58. Tess, you can always call the City of Roseville Public Works Department at 651-792-7004 to file complaints about pedestrian activity. We will make sure it gets to MnDOT, Ramsey County and/or Arden Hills if need be. o Response: You can also email engineering@cityofroseville.com 59. I'm specifically talking about LYDIA east of Snelling 60. Lydia people should be aware that the next action will be a double left turn and an expansion of Lydia. Just wait. That will be coming next. 61. Some of this may have been eliminated if MnDOT had been apparent in the first place about closing this roadway. We had to hunt for answers and are still dealing with the withholding of information. 62. Traffic pressure will result in this. In these projects, there are always winners and losers. Hamline Ave north of Josephine Road is a winner, and Lydia Avenue is a loser. 63. The question is about how they get out of their neighborhood after the barrier is put in 64. When you talk about balancing mobility needs with safety is that the mobility of people heading north on Snelling 65. There are no alternate routes. Snelling is the only road for them. 66. It's legal. And it’s the only way for someone on foot or bike to leave the Glenhill neighborhood. 67. Can you say once again where one can go to get a copy of the transcript of this presentation and the questions and answers. Thanks. o Response: mndot.gov/metro/projects/hwy51roseville-ardenhills 68. Commuter traffic through neighborhoods decreases safety for the families that live there 69. I would hope that MnDOT would look at the suggestions from this presentation including signals at Hamline and Snelling. 70. The length of the green light on northbound Snelling Lydia contributes to people making risky left turns at Hamline as well as the speed on Snelling. 55 mph means 60-65 mph. I am one of the 3% turning into autumn grove. In the eleven years I've lived here it appears the length of green on Snelling has increased so cars are already going 60 by the time they reach the green at Lydia. E-mailed Comments Received Before June 7 1. I would like to voice my support for the proposed permanent closure of the left-turn lane from southbound Snelling Avenue to Hamline Avenue.
