11/1/11 Attachment D <br /> To: Bryan Lloyd, Associate City Planner for Roseville, MN <br /> RE: Comments for consideration regarding MN State Fair renewal for <br /> temporary park and ride facility at St Rose of Lima as an Interim Use <br /> From: Sarah Shroyer, 1283 Eldridge Ave W <br /> As we spoke about on the phone today, I have some concerns about how the St Rose of Lima site functions as a MN State <br /> Fair park and ride location. I still support the use of the site as a park& ride, but do hope some changes could be made to <br /> improve the quality of life for residents during the fair in the immediately surrounding area of the church and parking lot <br /> area, especially when considering the volume of fair goers that use this site and the adjacent streets each year. Also see the <br /> map on the last page as a visual of what I am describing. <br /> Three years of watching how St Rose of Lima MN state fair park& ride functions: <br /> • We have lived at 1283 Eldridge Ave at the corner of Eldridge and Dellwood since October 2008 and have been there <br /> for three park& ride fair periods at St Rose of Lima. The 2011 fair park& ride period was more challenging than the <br /> two years prior, as it seemed to encompass a larger number of small problems that seemed to add up. <br /> Signage on Hamline routes car traffic down our block of Eldridge: <br /> • A concern is the routing of the car traffic off Hamline down Eldridge Ave to turn right to enter parking on Dellwood, <br /> the park& ride entrance. There is a sort of"turn here" sign at the corner of Hamline and Eldridge that says "enter <br /> on Dellwood" which directs people to turn down Eldridge to get to Dellwood.Then there is another"turn here" sign <br /> at the corner of Eldridge and Dellwood with an arrow to direct them to turn right at Dellwood to then turn right to <br /> enter parking there. This leads to several hundred or more cars per day going up and down Eldridge between <br /> Hamline and Dellwood to turn onto Dellwood to enter and leave the parking lot. <br /> • The way fair goers get to the park& ride entrance from Hamline seems to be setup to direct them to go down our <br /> block of Eldridge to get to Dellwood to turn right and then enter the parking-and this has sort of bottlenecked the <br /> car traffic on to our block of Eldridge, as well as the pedestrian traffic when the parking lot is full, as the immediate <br /> street parking easiest to access that is still allowed during this time starts at Dellwood and Eldridge. <br /> Suggestions: <br /> What about "turn here" signs more fairly placed to distribute cars on Hamline down Skillman in addition to <br /> Eldridge? Or perhaps into the church parking off Hamline and through their lot to park behind the church and <br /> school? Or perhaps park& ride directional signs encouraging entrance from County Rd B or Lexington or <br /> Roselawn? <br /> What about an entrance to the park& ride off Hamline? Or at least letting them leave from that direction at night? <br /> Keeping the two entrances blocked to the church lot off our block of Eldridge is appreciated, so please do keep <br /> those closed since it is houses across from those two lot entrances and cars leaving there shine head lights into <br /> houses at night. <br /> Signage mishaps during the 2011 state fair: <br /> • During the 2011 fair the "turn here" sign on the corner of Dellwood and Eldridge was sometimes not propped up, as <br /> it is a heavy big wood "V" style sign, so it would tip over or blow over it seems. When it was down this would lead <br /> to people doing U turns in the intersection, or using driveways to turn around, as they were not sure where to enter <br /> to park. <br /> • Also the "no state fair parking" sign on the north side of Eldridge directly across from our house seemed to keep <br /> falling down or was sometimes moved away and laying on the grass way over by the church entrance, I kept trying <br /> to hit it with a hammer back in its hole, but it kept falling down. <br /> Suggestions: <br /> What about considering having church volunteers to check signs are still in place for where to turn or not to park? <br /> The heavy"V" style sign needs to be propped up every morning right away(not just leaned on the tree there which <br /> makes it unreadable when driving down Eldridge from Hamline) and checked throughout the day to be sure it is still <br /> propped up, or they need to get multiple directional arrow signs to point to turn right on to Dellwood that stake in <br /> the ground that cannot fall over and can be seen easily from all streets feeding that intersection, but especially so <br /> Page 1 of 8 <br />
