the pond where the banks are steeper, this section could remain as road shoulder (as stated in <br />point #2 above) with extra safety precautions put in place. <br />4. Leverage the existing footprint of the road and consider shifting the driving parts of the road a <br />few feet such that one shoulder is a bit narrower and the other side of the road is wider. This <br />could mitigate or reduce widening the road to accommodate a trail and instead utilize the <br />overall width of the space. This option could reduce the overall cost of the project. <br />5. Overall safety measures such as rumble strips, flashing lights for pedestrians, dedicated cross- <br />walks, speed flash signs, bright white paint for the shoulder, and reduced speed limits are all <br />additional measures that could be taken at relatively low cost to improve safety in this stretch of <br />road. <br /> <br />I strongly urge the City Council to dedicate time to a public comment meeting where residents can pose <br />questions and discuss this project with our councilmembers. <br /> <br />In summary, this investment to the community needs to be made to allow for Arden Hills residents a <br />safe and beautiful trail to enjoy the scenic views that we all appreciate and value. Please do not hesitate <br />to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to continuing to monitor the progress on the trail. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Amy Hoffmann <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
