� ' , /� �� Ms. Sager, 9/28/1 08:42 AM Thank you for your comments regarding the renewal of the Interim Use Permit for the Minnesota State Fair Park & Ride lots, in particular North Como Presbyterian Church. I will see to it that your comments are past along to the City of Roseville. Again Thank You, Steve Steve Grans Transportation Manager Minnesota State Fair 651-288-4463 (office) 651-603-6814 (fax) steve.grans@mnstatefair.org From: Donna Sager <dsager2010@gmail.com> To: steve.grans@mnstatefair.org Date: 09/27/11 07:48 PM Subject: Park and Ride Permits Mr. Steven Grans, I live at 1727 Victoria Street N., Roseville, I am two houses from the Park and Ride lot located at North Como Presbyterian Church and live directly across the street from Roselawn Cemetery.

The cars fill up the Park and Ride lot at the church and then park on Victoria Street and people walk to the church lot to catch the bus. With cars parking on both sides of the street, people pull there cars off the street as much as possible. and park on the grass. The street gets narrower with cars parked on both sides and there is a lot of foot traffic in the street (including families with small children, no sidewalls on Victoria Street) so it is dangerous to walk in the narrow street. With the cars parking on my grass, I had to put stakes in the ground at the edge of my property and string caution tape to keep cars off my new sod! Yes, next year my grass will not be brand new and better established however, tire marks from cars parked every day does kill the grass, not to mention the possible damage to the sprinkler heads near the street. I would much rather see parking on only ONE side the street, the Roselawn Cemetery side when the Park N Ride lot is full. The ground on the cemetery side of the street is flatter, the lilac hedge running the length of Victoria Street is set back from the street quite a bit, so there is a wider area for cars to pull in and get off the street. (Victoria side has a culvert running the length of the block and is quite
