Ms. Johnson also stated that the handout that was presented to council was where she would like to see the barriers and where the removal of the passing zone should be. Ms. Cassie Williams, 30980 Walmark Lane Drive, Chisago, MN, stated that she had spoken with two individuals with Anoka County who stated that the location of Creative Kids Academy is far enough away from the roadway to be in a considered “safe zone” from a roadway that has a 50-55 miles per hour speed zone. She stated that she was unsure how fast the motorcycle was traveling, but if it was a car, truck, a cargo van, etc. the accident would have been worse. She stated that the County has stated that a traffic study would be at least a year out. She asked if the city could assist in fast-tracking a study following this incident and possibly making the area around the Academy a school zone. Ms. Williams stated that she has started a petition and has 200 individuals signed up already. She stated that the safety of her kids mattered a lot.
