I'm nlli~er one in favor of it because it will remove about three gallons of gasoline through the summer time for mowing that. Be that as it may, I'm most concerned about being one of the retired senior citizens in Roseville, which is lovely - I love it ever so much - it's the garden spot of America - and that is with regard to snow shoveling in the wintertime on the proposed sidewalk. I'm putting the cart before the horse and looking down maybe two or three years, but when our boys come through on C-2 to plow, they do an excellent job. I think about 90% of that stuff comes up almost against the side of our kitchen door. I stopped them once and I said look guys, why don't you plow some of that stuff on the other side (inaudible). The mailboxes are on that side - I can appreciate that. MAN IN AUDIENCE: I have one more question. Earlier in the evening they said that this could take weeks or whatever. In the meantime, if this street is torn up and we can't get to our house - I live on C-2 across from Marion - so maybe I'm parking on Marion for 24 hours. Is Roseville's finest going to come along and ticket us? MR. HONCHELL: As I indicated before, a large portion of the construction project - you'll be able to not only get to your house, but right into your driveway and into your garage if you have one. Again, when someone is working directly in front of your house, digging it up - you can't go in and out because that big construction machine is bigger than your car, and then there will be that time when the concrete curb is curing. By and large, other than that, we try and have the driveways accessible every evening when the people come back in again. MAN IN AUDIENCE: The reason I bring this up - a year ago last winter I went out to shovel my driveway, backed my car onto the street, and while I was shoveling I got ticketed. I tried to explain that to Roseville's police and you might as well have been talking to that wall right there. I had to pay a fine. I had moved it out so I could shov€l my driveway. My son said hey, there's a squad car out there - the fellow wouldn't even listen. I just figure if that same guy comes along and he's working on his quota. . . MAYOR DEMOS: It's a very hard-hearted thing to say, but if you'll go into court - and 1 know you hate to take time off - but if you'll go into court, I think you'll find those judges very sympathetic toward you. MRS. MARION LUNZER: Is Mr. Honchell the head of the public works? I have a personal question to ask you. Why do you plow snow at 4:00 or 4:30 in the morning when we have all worked our tails off the day before and the night before to get.ourselves - our driveways open - and then you guys corne along with these big plows and you plow it all in and our men have to go to work at 4:30 in the morning. We haven't -11-
