recipe for disaster, given an already tight situation. While a pedestrian corridor might be a good idea, its width should be MUCH narrower than the current demarcations. 14. Thanks for the mailer about the pilot project. I live adjacent on Brooks to Keya Park. Very happy with the renovations to the playground last couple years! My only complaint would be put a basketball hoop backup at the tennis courts!! Seriously, about the sidewalk markers, I get they're temporary, but a sidewalk on Pascal would be excellent near the park. Are the markers on Hamline, south of B2, temporary as well? If not, how does the city plan to plow the Hamline? I'm about to retire, I love Roseville and I think RPW rocks. 15. As a resident of the Hamline/132 neighborhood, putting a sidewalk in this kind of neighborhood would be actually diabolical and drive people out of this neighborhood. The theory of it actually be useful, safe, practical and helpful, is politically a left leaning ideology that is not realistic in this environment. Most of the neighborhood residents that do walk, walk on the edge of the grass or the curb during daylight hours. You are correct that there are cars that will drive by quick in this neighborhood, and that usually people that are not a resident of this neighborhood, and are looking to instigate some kind of problem and cause commotion. I firmly believe that changing this particular neighborhood to make it look more of a St. Paul neighborhood. Putting in sidewalks would be a more of a detriment to the city of Roseville than any positive impact. Thankyou for tryingto do better and making difference, but start with neighborhoods that are actually in need of a sidewalk. 16. 1 would like to provide my feedback on the proposed Pascal Street sidewalk project. I have lived in the Pocahontas/Keya Park neighborhood much of my life beginning in 1972. 1 was raised here, as were my children, which is to say I have walked and driven through the neighborhood for many years. I agree that the hill on Pascal is short, steep and notvisually clear for drivers, however I do not feel the sidewalk is necessary nor a good safety strategy. For years I have walked through that intersection, includingwith a stroller and with kids on bikes, and have felt safe bywalking near the curb. The width of the proposed sidewalk causes cars to drive into the oncomingtraffic lane, both on Brooks and Pascal. There isn't enough space for the sidewalk and two lanes of traffic. I appreciate your allowingthe opportunityfor feedback on this project. 17. 1 am thrilled by the new reflective pylons making a walking lane over the blind hill. Now that people are used to it, I see lots of people walking in that lane. Even better- nobody is parking in the No Parking Zone because it is very clear with the pylons!! I have lived on Rose Place since 2013, and it has been very frustrating to see how many cars park in the No Parking zone because they either ignore the signs or just do not understand them. Cars even park right in front of the fire hydrant! I am amazed that there are not constant accidents on the blind hill! I worry that narrowing the street with curbs and a sidewalk may be beneficial to walkers, but make the blind hill very prone to car or bike accidents, especiallywhen cars start parking in the No Parkingzone again. May I suggest leaving the pylons in place, and adding a stop sign on Pascal at the Intersection with Brooks - only on the side that is going on and up over the hill. Thatwould force cars to slow down before the hill. As a former Safety Committe member at mywork, I was trained to look for the accident waiting to happen. The blind hill on Pascal at Keya Park has definitely been a worry for me! rd Page 25 of 84
