You thought with <br />a stop light this would make it easier to make a V-turn at this intersection and make it safer. Is there a <br />stop light planned in the last couple of weeks? And isthis intersection also going to allow for larger <br />vehicles, trailors, gas trucks, delivery trucks and whomever else this involves? <br /> <br />Gary spoke to Doug Fischer at the fIrst public meeting and they discussed the speed limits. Mr. Fischer <br />stated that, not always, but once an improvement is made the speed limit may increase in the near future. <br />It is already 45 m.p.h. along this stretch ofCty Rd 14. If the tendency is to increase these limits it is not <br />good for our children that need to cross the roads or be on the paths once they are old enough to do so. <br /> <br />Reducing the speed limit to 35 m.p.h., like it is near the school, which Mn Dot changes, and <br />adding a continuous left turn lane and having NO concrete medians west of 20th avenue <br />solves a lot problems for businesses and the community. <br /> <br />And have medians, if needed, east of 20th but with turn lanes with yield signs for safety issues. Making <br />these changes will only benefIt the city of Centerville and will keep patrons going to local businesses. <br /> <br />Please keep this in mind when making future decisions because this is important to us. We don't have <br />another outlet and we feel it is very hazardous to be forced to make V -turns when we feel there are <br />duable solutions. <br />Please contact us at GaryandConnieSchmidt@comcast.net and we will be at any further workshop <br />sessions to discuss these plans before they are approved. Thank you and we do know you are doing what <br />you feel is safest for our co=nnity-but hopefully something can be worked out to better suit the needs <br />of our community and businesses that the medians are affecting. <br />Thanks again-Gary and Connie Schmidt <br /> <br />11/2/2004 <br />
