Steve Steve Grans Transportation Manager Minnesota State Fair 651-288-4463(office) 651-603-6814(fax) steve.grans@mnstatefair.org From: K Pestel,% To: <steve.grans @mnstatefair.org Date: 10/01/11 11:36 AM Subject: Comments re: upcoming Roseville interim use permits for the park and ride lets Hi, we won't be able to come to the open house but we wanted to send you our comments. We live directly across the street south of Calvary Baptist Church, and I use the regular MetroTransit park and ride at Grace Church to get to work. In general, we are very supportive of the use of the lots for Mate Fair park and ride (although we ourselves actually bike to the fair if or when we go). we like that the churches and high school are sharing their space for the good of the community and helping to lessen congestion at the fairgrounds themselves. We have noticed that there isn't as much trash as you might expect(this year I think we had 2 state fair cups on our lawn and one wrapper) and the benefits outweigh the potential downsides. At the Grace Church park and ride, my only complaint is that when our bus comes in the evening, they don't let us get out of the west exit(it's blocked with cones). I assume that is to keep others out and it is my normal exit route on my way to pick up our daughter from daycare, but it's a pretty small price to pay in the grand scheme of things. We wanted to be sure you got some positive comments in case only people who are mad about it show up. Thanks for the opportunity.
