(See <br />Attachment.) This memo references the potentIal development of the property triangle located at the corner <br />of New Brighton Road and Lake Johanna Blvd. While there has been no official Arden Hills case number <br />assigned to identify this project the memo shows there has been considerable discussion of how this land <br />could be used. <br /> <br />While I wholeheartedly support the development of this parcel to make it a more appealing eotrance to our <br />community I do have concerns regarding one of the items being considered. I'm referring to step number 3 <br />listed under project status that suggests extendIng Glenpaul through to Lake Johanoa Blvd. and eliminating <br />the New Brighton Blvd. intersection with County Road D. The diagram on the back of the memo further <br />illustrates this intent. <br /> <br />I would like to go on record in opposition to any plan that would potentially increase traffic 00 Glenpaul <br />Avenue. (Many drivers coming down New Brighton Road today avoid the stop sign and traffic on Co. Rd. <br />D by using Glenpaul as an alternate thoroughfare to access Cleveland and 35W. It doesn't take a rocket <br />scientist to realize that the street re-routing changes being considered would only serve to increase the <br />number of drivers osing Glenpaul Ave. to reach Clevelaod aod points beyond.) <br /> <br />1'm not the only resident on Glenpaul concerned about the outcome of this development. There are many. <br />But, today, I can only speak for myself. As a homeowner on Glenpaul who would be directly impacted by <br />any traftie re-routing this proposal may create, I am urging the members of Arden Hills City Council to <br />please insist that any development plan on this corner not create a traffic hardship upon the residents of <br />Glenpaul Avenue. <br /> <br />At this tIme I'd also like to make a gesture of goodwill to Arden Hills by offering to votunteer my time and <br />services to help maintain a landscaped plot on this corner if that is an alternate plan the City would pursue. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely. <br /> <br />11~;~_ 'd:>.-l-h~ <br /> <br />Melinda B.
