We are subjected to it <br /> regularly, multiple times each day and want it stopped now! We are aware that <br /> there are youthful, Inexperienced drivers going to and from Mounds View High <br /> School and Bethel College, We need this stopped to head off the serious accidents <br /> which seem certain to follow with this hazardous driving, <br /> Please consider increasing your visibility in 'lnd patrols of this area, We also <br /> believe that adding multiple traffic control devices would help in this vicinity <br /> including: <br /> 1. Flashing signals in front of Valentine Hills School <br /> 2, Three-way stop signs at the corner of Old Highway 10 <br /> and County Road E2 <br /> Please act on this request promptly and communicate your plan to remedy this <br /> situation by call ing Michele Brouse, Valentine Hi lis Principal, at 631-0737, <br /> .
