March 18, 1993 <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> 1450 West Highway 96 <br /> Arden Hills, MN 55112-5794 <br /> I would like to suggest the Parks Committee dedicate some time to <br /> look at bikeways/walkways at three different locations: <br /> 1. The "sidewalk" located on the west end of Lake <br /> Johanna, going up the hill towards Fairview. I believe <br /> this would be the county's responsibility but has this <br /> subject ever been addressed by your committee or by the <br /> county? It starts and stops abruptly, is always covered <br /> with sand (dangerous for bikers) , is very uneven, narrow, <br /> and it lends itself to the users walking in the street onto <br /> a limited roadway. <br /> 2 . Old Snelling crossing over to Hamline Avenue. This is <br /> actually an ongoing problem currently being pursued by the <br /> city council. Regardless of the councils final action are <br /> there any plans to have walkers, joggers and cyclists cross <br /> there? <br /> 3 . County Road E bridge over Snelling Avenue. Again this <br /> is the county' s responsibility but is potentially <br /> dangerous. Any plans for a walkway leading up to and away <br /> from the bridge? Any plans for making it safer before <br /> someone does get injured? <br /> As a policy body for trails, paths and bike ways, I believe these <br /> three areas dictate that your committee at least have some <br /> discussion (pro and con) on what type of policy or action could <br /> be taken. I realize that all of these items are out of your <br /> hands in so far as creating immediate change but you do have the <br /> ability to impact the decision makers on the city council and the <br /> county government. <br /> I appreciate your efforts and accomplishments in providing Arden <br /> Hills with the trails and pathways that already exist. I enjoy <br /> everyone of them very much. Thank you for your time and <br /> listening to my concerns. <br /> Jerry Miller <br /> • 3505 Glenarden Road <br /> 633-6987 <br />
