<br />Please Share Your Comment., Question or Concern: Dear Members, of the Roseville Planning
<br />Commission:
<br />We recently learned that the Roseville Planning Commission will soon be reviewing, a request
<br />to turn a stretch of forest on the Northwest corner of Lexington Avenue and County Rd. C2
<br />into a new development of 28 homes,., which will be called "Josephine Woods".
<br />We have reviewed the entire proposal online and are very concerned that it makes, no provision
<br />for opening up Cty C2 to through traffic between Hamline and Lexington Avenues, in order to
<br />support the increased volume of traffic that the new development will generate. Instead, it
<br />s,eems, that the plan is to have the primary acces,s, for this new development be los,ephine Rd.,
<br />which connects, to Fernwood St.
<br />We have been residents, of Roseville since 2005 and live on los,ephine Rd. Over the past six
<br />years,, we have soon a marked increase in the number of cars, that travel on los,ephine Rd., due
<br />In large part because Cty C2—which would normally be the most direct and logical route
<br />between Snelling Ave. and Lexington Ave.—is, interrupted from joining those two streets, by
<br />about 50 yards, of undeveloped road.
<br />Instead, cars, from Snelling often shoot east down Cty C2., go north on Hamline, then east on
<br />los,ephine Rd in order to connect to Lexington. My understanding is that the number of cars
<br />traveling on los,ephine Rd has currently escalated to 2.,500 per day, and the City of
<br />Roseville Transportation Plan estimates, that this number will increase to around 6,500 per
<br />day over the next 20 years,.
<br />los,ephine Rd was never designed to be a major thoroughfare. It is residential, with more
<br />than 30 homes, facing the road. There are a number of small children that live on the street
<br />(including our 1,1,-year old daughter), and we are concerned for their s,afety.
