<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. , <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />November 2,1999 <br /> <br />Dwayne Stafford <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Public Works Director <br />4364 West Round Lake Road <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112-5794 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Stafford, <br /> <br />Enclosed you will fmd a petition endorsed by Arden Hills residents in the Chatl1am <br />neighborhood. The petition was drafted with the input of the residents in the neighborhood and <br />those with children directly affected by an unsafe parking situation. The petition asks the City <br />Council to approve placing signs that prohibit the parking of cars, during school hours, along <br />the portion of Chatham Avenue adjacent to Valentine Hills School. <br /> <br />The primary concern is for the safety of the children. However, for additional reasons set <br />forth in the petition, the parking situation presents a hazard for motorists as well. These <br />concerns can be easily remedied by erecting "no parking during school hours" signs along the <br />aforementioned area of Chatham Avenue. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />On any given school day, there are between five to ten cars parked in this area. The parking <br />situation is only a concern while school is in session, indicating that the parked cars belong to <br />persons affiliated with the school. Prohibiting parking during school hours would make the <br />A venue safer and still allow visitors of residents to park there, if need be, when school is not <br />in session. Other measures taken in the past include ticketing, and requests made directly to <br />the car owners. Unfortunately, these acts have not had any impact. <br /> <br />Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />Therese A. Galatowitsch <br />1780 Chatham Ave. <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br />651-628-0174 (h) <br />612-348-8579 (w) <br /> <br />e <br />
