In talking with fellow neighbor Paul Anderson this morning I also echo some of the positive <br /> things he mentioned. By having Northwestern as a neighbor, there is a positive-young-happening <br /> feel that you get from the presence of students walking by. <br /> We have had positive interactions with the students we have met, and even paid one of them <br /> shovel our driveway the week we were away on vacation. In full disclosure, he does attend our <br /> church. :) <br /> But,by having a consistent stream of UNW joggers and walkers passing by our house it reduces <br /> the likelihood of crime. Who wants to commit a crime on a street where there is constant foot <br /> traffic and many witnesses? <br /> Traffic or parked cars <br /> The actual parked cars don't bother me. What does bother me are drivers that speed or that don't <br /> slow down on Lydia when they are going by a row of parked cars. That is what I was taught you <br /> are to do. Slow your speed to anticipate a door opening, or someone walking to the street from <br /> between two cars. <br /> The concern for us would be that a driver that is speeding or not slowing along that line of <br /> parked cars would not be able to see our children if they accidentally went into the street. <br /> We do all that we can to supervise and watch our children,but things do happen. If there was to <br /> be an accident I don't think it would be a Northwestern community member causing it. The real <br /> danger is the driver who is trying to avoid traffic and trying to make a cut-over from <br /> Snelling Ave to 35W, or vise-a-versa. <br /> I hope this gives you a little idea where our family stands and our support for NWU's upcoming <br /> construction. <br /> Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help your efforts. <br /> Thanks, <br /> Chris Nelson <br /> Christopher Nelson <br /> Manager Constituent Programming <br /> Office of Alumni and Parent Services <br /> Bethel University <br /> Cell: 651.428.8177 <br /> Phone: 651.635.8055 <br /> Confidentiality Statement:The documents accompanying this transmission contain confidential information that is legally privileged.This information is intended <br /> only for the use of the individuals or entities listed above.If you are not the intended recipient,you are hereby notified that any disclosure,copying,distribution,or <br /> action taken in reliance on the contents of these documents is strictly prohibited.If you have received this information in error,please notify the sender immediately <br /> and arrange for the return or destruction of these documents. <br /> 2 <br />
