<br />.. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />January 9,2000 <br />1136 Carlton Drive <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br />h: 651-482-0355 <br />w: 612-761-2378 <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council <br />City of Arden Hills <br />4363 West Round Lake Road <br />Arden Hills MN 55112-5794 <br /> <br />cc: Gregory Brown, BRW <br />cc: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Director <br />cc: Joe Lynch, City Administrator <br /> <br />RE: Feasibility Study for 2000 Street Improvements Project - Ingerson Avenue <br />neighborhood <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I will be unable to attend the meeting on January 10, 2000, but I believe it is important <br />for me to voice my concerns. I am asking you to delay any decisions on the 2000 Street <br />Improvement Project for the Ingerson A venue neighborhood. The reasons for this <br />request are: <br /> <br />1. The timetable seems to be 'hurried.' <br />2. The entire project has caught the neighborhood by surprise. <br />3. The neighborhood was not consulted nor involved in the proposed project. <br />4. The application of 'City Standards' which may not be appropriate for much of the <br />project have been applied. <br />5. Alternative solutions to the water problems do not appear to have been investigated. <br />6. The project appears to be a 'Cadillac-sized' solution to a 'Volkswagen-sized' <br />problem. <br /> <br />When I first heard about the street project, I thought "Cool... new streets and gutters!" <br />Yes, knew it would be expensive, and my street (Carlton Dr.) is in fine condition; <br />however, I was not against the project. After studying the complete Feasibility Study & <br />Report prepared by Mr. Brown and kindly sent in a timely fashion by Mr. Stafford and <br />attending a neighborhood meeting to discuss the project on January 6, I believe the <br />project, as proposed, is not in the neighborhood's or the City's best interests. <br /> <br />. <br />
