PUBLIC INOUlRIES/INFORMATlONAL Elizabeth Garski, 1794 Lake Valentine Road, stated she has been before Council on several occasions to address the problems she has had with Mound View High School and "light pollution". She noted in the past, her problem was with parking lot lights left on past 10:00 p.m. She indicated that problem had been solved since a new timer had been installed in September 2004. However, she indicated there was now a new problem with the football field light remaining on until after 11 :00 p,m. She noted the football field lights were very bright and shined into her home. She also expressed concern that there was now more traffic late into the night and the noise, honking, etc. that went along with the games. She indicated she had spoken with the Mcunds View High School principal who told her that the field was now being rented out to various organizations and the events would take place most evenings until II :00 p.m. or later. She noted there was a Special Use Permit in place for the High School wherein they agreed the lights would be shut off at 10:00 p.m, She stated she was upset that before going ahead with renting the field late into the night, the neighbors were not notified, She requested the City enforce the 10:00 p,m, lights out agreement. Mayor Aplikowski directed staff to look into this and get back to Council with a response. Kathleen O'Neil, 3530 Rustic Place, Shoreview, (Mounds View High School student) stated she was concerned about the lack of sidewalk access from First Avenue to Mounds View High School and the safety hazard this presented for the students who had to walk. She also expressed concern about the lack of street lights and the heavy traffic along this road. Councilmember Grant asked if there was no bus service in the area. Ms. O'Neil stated they did have bus service, but she was in school activities and there was no after school bus service and if she drove, she had to park off campus and would still have to walk.
