down the road and talking on the phone while driving down the road. That is where <br />the real problem lies. He would caution the Commission on studying data on what <br />other cities have done because some cities make decisions that are politically <br />driven, and some cities make decisions that are statistically driven. The cities of <br />Brooklyn Park and Minneapolis are political party-endorsed where a lot of their <br />decisions are based on politics. Shoreview, on the other hand, is not a political <br />party-endorsed city and often times a lot of decisions made there are based on <br />statistics. Another thing he wanted to raise caution about is passing laws that no <br />one follows. That is the scientific versus politics. When you pass laws that no one <br />follows people have a tendency of not respecting other laws. Another thing to point <br />out is perhaps Roseville should stop paving local side streets that are four car lanes <br />wide. Perhaps for the next reconstruction phase, quit paving four lane-wide local <br />side streets and cut them down to three or two and a half lanes. Lower speed limits <br />do nothing to affect the noise that bothers him, which is loud exhaust and loud car <br />stereos. Equity was raised and if the City passes laws that no one follows it gives <br />law enforcement the ability to pull over anyone they want to. Do not pass laws that <br />no one is going to follow, and scenarios will not be created like that. He indicated <br />if the Commission wanted to do a study or a survey of people, he would encourage <br />the Commission to take a look at the recycling survey that was done. <br />Page 9 of 9 <br /> <br />
