<br />> Please Share Your Comment., Question or Concern: Dear Duane:
<br />> I understand that you are the director of the Roseville Division of Public Works,. I wanted
<br />to write you to expres,s, my concern that there is to be an upcoming City Council vote on a new
<br />housing development slated for the corner of Lexington and Cty C2, yet there has been little
<br />public notification of the plan, nor any publicized community "open house" to dis,cus,s, the
<br />propos,al. My understanding is that the latter is prerequisite in Roseville before a proposal
<br />can be voted on
<br />> We live on Josephine Rd., which will be significantly impacted by the increased flow of
<br />traffic that the development will generate., yet only a few of our neighbors, Closest to
<br />Fern wood Rd, received any notice about the development and/or the impending City Council
<br />vote. Fortunately, one of them notified us,.
<br />> We have reviewed the proposal online and are extremely disappointed that it contains, no
<br />provisions, for opening, up Cty C2 between Lexington and Hamline. Since we moved to Roseville
<br />six years, ago, we have experienced a significant increase in traffic on Josephine Rd,
<br />largely in part because Cty C2—which would be the most direct route between Snelling and
<br />Victoria in this area—is, blocked to through traffic between Lexington and Hamline.
<br />> The new development will clearly generate more traffic and, if the proposal pas,s,es, as
<br />written, Josephine Rd would bear the brunt of the traffic burden. Please note that Josephine
<br />is a small residential street with 30 -some homes,, all front-facing to the road. It s,eems,
<br />incredibly reasonable to me that Cty C2 should be opened up for a straight and uninterrupted
<br />path between Lexington and Hamline in order to help share some of the increased traffic
<br />burden. Note that the current plan for a second entry into the development via a small side
<br />street off the current culdes,ac at Lexington and Cty C2 is completely inadequate, and will
