.:. Five to seven dwellings on the north side of CSAH 14, just west of 20th Avenue, will be dramatically impacted by the present proposal. These property owners may consider selling their properties to the County, allowing the alignment of the roadway to be moved north. This re-alignment would allow ample widening so not to impinge upon the business accesses located on the south side of CSAH 14 and ideal positioning to meet the probable expansion to the 35E bridge. .:. Speed study of Main Street from the 20th Avenue intersection to the St. Genevieve Cemetery where an anticipated speed change to 35 mph would occur. (This may assist in the classification of the roadway, i.e. (Urban vs. Rural). .:. The use of concrete medians that diminish access into businesses is very undesirable. Turn lanes that allow controlled access is much preferred. .:. Controlled intersections at 20th Avenue/CSAH 14 and 21st Avenue/CSAH 14 with full turning access allowed. We appreciate that the whole point of the roadway expansion is to manage traffic levels now and into the future, however, we feel that this can be accomplished while minimizing the negative affects the City of Centerville will incur. We, the City of Centerville, are very grateful for the modifications that the County has already agreed to make regarding the concept design through our community. We, however, believe that the above Suggested/Proposed Design Concept Modifications would be more conducive and complimentary to the use of the roadway and our community by ensuring public safety for pedestrian traffic and citizens attempting to access private driveways. We appreciate the opportunities Anoka County has provided to the Council, as well as, the citizens and business owners to voice concerns regarding this project. We would like to thank you in advance for your consideration of our requests and your responses. Sincerely, Terry Sweeney, Mayor, City of Centerville
