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.gra nsQm nstatefai r. org From: C?onna Sager To: s#eve.grans(�m�statefair,org Date: dJ/27/11 07:48 PM Subject: Park and Ride Permits Mr. S#even 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 strcet from Roseiawn Cemetery.
