It Is nearing the date �hat the Ci�� Counei� wi11 be awarding a contract. The homeowners of Valentine Crest Road do nat see any viable reason why our stree� has been included in�o the recons�ruction vs a n�lll and averlay? You may be one person that can g�ve us credib�e information in this �natter. Thank you. The following is what has been sent out to interested parties: We received a natice on April 15, 20 � 0 detai�ing t�e reconstruction cost of our street. We took anather dr�ve around alI of the affected streets and �oticed t�at the roads scheduled for a relatively minor "mill anc� overlay" are in extre�nely de�eriorated eondition compared to our street, Valentine Crest Roac1. For some �eason �he cIt}� is includi�g our cul-de-sac with a major reeonstruction of adjacent Valer�tine Avenue whrch we unders�anc� has been problematie �o� ma�y years. �ur street has held up exceptionally wel� for many years, part�y I would assume because of it being a long cul- de-sae with the only heavy duty veh�cles be�ng garbage and recycling t�-ucks on Tuesdays. We feel the City of Arden Hills is being decei�f�ul in this mat�er coneerning the street repair and replacemen�. They are not taking any of the hor�eowners conce�s on Valent�ne Crest Roac� into consideration. The battom line is our street is not in the same poor condition that Katie Lane is in and �hey are only receiving a"mill and overlay" with an estimate of $1721 minimum per household. �e are being tQld we are getting a new street at a cast of at Ieast $8,268 per household. We have no say in t�e matter even though all af the homeowners have signed a petition against this. Flease vieW the attaehed videos of Katie Lane and Valentine Crest Road so you can see just how wasteful the reconstruct�on of our street would be.
