<br /> . <br /> Arden Hills Council 4 January 25, 1993 <br /> this does not provide for due process. Now the Council and <br /> MnDOT are faced with an impossible situation because no <br /> matter what takes place, it is likely that some lawyer may <br /> accus e the City of negligence. <br /> Linda Swanson, 1124 Inoerson Road - I thank the Council for <br /> this open meeting as I have only heard about other meetings <br /> on this subject after they have occurred. I'm opposed to <br /> the options presented on the grounds that they are unsound. <br /> To my knowledge, local police and fire departments have not <br /> voiced their concerns for safety at this intersection. A <br /> signalized intersection would be detrimental to the existing <br /> neighborhood by creating more traffic, air pollution, and <br /> noise pollution, in addition to being very costly. The only <br /> reason which has been given to reopen the intersection is to <br /> provide for more convenience. If the intersection is <br /> opened, noise barriers will be necessary. <br /> Tom Lynch, 3220 North Hamline - I have lived within 800' of <br /> this intersection for 27 years and have dealt with this <br /> issue many times in the past. Seven people have been killed <br /> during those 27 years, even after realignment and the . <br /> installation of a traffic signal at Lydia/Snelling. The <br /> speed limit of Snelling is the same as a freeway, which is <br /> very inappropriate, in fact, the area is so dangerous that I <br /> began avoiding the intersection before it was closed. <br /> Phil Fabel. 3426 G1enarden Court - Since 1971 , this is the <br /> third time this matter has come up. No one should profess <br /> to know more about the matter than MnDOT; MnDOT has made <br /> their position clear by closing the intersection, and that <br /> action should stand. <br /> David Webster, 3529 Sne1linq - I have lived in the area for <br /> 15 years and witnessed tremendous growth in the area. Since <br /> the intersection closure, the area seems much safer, <br /> particularly for children. I was involved in an accident at <br /> this intersection, and I understand the inconvenience posed <br /> by the closure of the intersection, but I feel it is worth <br /> the added safety. <br /> Todd Albertson, 1543 Glenhil1 Road - I moved to the area in <br /> 1963 and have witnessed many accidents at this inter-section. <br /> I represent the Arden Hills Three Association and all eight <br /> people within the Association are opposed to the service <br /> road option. I believe reopening the intersection would be <br /> a fatal mistake. <br /> Kay Reyerson, 3201 Ridqewood Road - I echo the comments of . <br /> earlier speakers and favor any measure that will make a <br /> safer neighborhood. I am particularly concerned about the <br /> frontage road option as I beli eve it would endanger wetland <br />
