Last July, the residents of <br />Eagle Pass Cottages submitted to you a petition including a request for added street lighting on <br />streets in the first Eagle Pass addition. Now that new streets are to be developed and new light <br />will be installed on those streets in the second addition to Eagle Pass, we would like to request <br />that six additional streetlights also be installed at the same time in locations that will help prevent <br />potential accidents. <br /> <br />We remind you that many of the residents of Centerville who drive these streets are elderly, and <br />that the stree5ts are curved in unusual and severe ways, and that the present lighting does not <br />provide adequate light when the curves in the streets prevent automobile headlights from <br />properly lighting many portions of the streets. A driver's response to a situation where a <br />pedestrian or bike might present itself suddenly in one of these many iocations could easily be <br />fatal. We suggest that you drive these streets after dark to see just how dangerous they really are. <br /> <br />An amateur study of the lighting needs seems to indicate that new street lights in the following <br />locations would solve this problem, but perhaps the City engineer could be directed to conduct a <br />more professional study. The locations we have identified are approximately as follows: <br /> <br />. 7018 Dupre Road <br />. 7057 Dupre Road <br />. 7077 Dupre Road <br />. 1857 Pioneer Lane <br />. 6989 Eagle Trail <br />. about 100 feet North of the NW corner of Dupre Road and Voyager Court <br /> <br />4501 M1NNETOi\IKA 80ULEVARD /" l\iilNi\lEAPOUS, MINNESOTA 554.16 ^ (952) 922-5575 <br />
