21. Hello, I reached out to you about two weeks ago regarding the Pacal Street project and a possibility of narrowing the road on the hill going up and down Pascal. I literally just about hit a school bus head-on two minutes ago going over the hill as a school bus had to make a wide turn coming up the hill There was barely any room for either of us to pass each otherwith the temporary markers that are positioned on that hill for your studywe are pleadingwith you to not mess with that street and to not change the width of it It is already something that people Navigating and being careful of and making it any smaller than it already is is not smart for the residence who live there thankyou again foryour time 22. Hello — I received the postcard of the Pilot Project by Keya Park on Pascal Street. I have lived in Roseville next to Keya Park (where Rose Pt and Pascal Street intersect) since October, 1998. I've raised two daughters duringthis time. I'm very aware of how potentially dangerous this area can be. Heading north on Pascal Street (just beyond Brooks Avenue where the hill begins) is where it becomes the most dangerous. As I've approached the top of the hill in my car (going north), I've encountered kids and adults who are in the middle of the road in and around the area of the park. Likewise, as you head south on Pascal Street, there are kids biking or playing around the Brooks/Pascal area and you can't see anyone untilyou reach the top of the hill. I think the idea of a sidewalkwhere you have it currently delineated along Pascal Street is fabulous and long overdue. You have my endorsement and support of this project. If you want to contact me either by email or phone (call or text), here is my information: [REDACTED] Thankyou for helpingto make our neighborhood safer. 23. Hi! We don't like the sidewalk by Keya park or the little bit on the corner before it. What we've noticed is kids on bikes and scooters using the posts as an obstacle course weaving through them. We've also notice cars still going fast in that area and swervingwider due to the posts — therefore swerving into the on comingtraffic. And that traffic barely fits 2 cars now so when another car swerves into the middle, or if there is a parked car by someone's yard... it's alljust too congested and possibly dangerous. If the traffic speed by the park is a problem, why not just turn that corner into a 4 way stop sign? This would slow traffic down and make it safer for people walking. Lots of parks in neighborhoods have 4 way stops by them. Then cars wouldn't be swerving all over and kids wouldn't be using the posts in a dangerous way. I've talked to a few neighbors and no one that I've talked with has seemed thrilled with the sidewalk. I'm hoping a 4 way stop might be a better solution. Thanks for listening. 24. Hello Erik and Jesse, I wanted to share my appreciation for the Pascal Street pilot project near Keya Park. As a resident of the neighborhood, I've long had concerns about visibility on that hill and the potential for accidents. It's great to see the City taking proactive steps to address this issue. I think the current approach is excellent —it provides a much safer and more comfortable space for pedestrians, and it's clear that a lot of thought went into testing the concept before committing to any permanent changes. I also want to applaud the City's willingness to try out this kind of pilot project; it's a great model for how to approach neighborhood safety improvements. The only minor concern I'd like to note is related to winter maintenance. With the narrowed roadway, I'm curious how snow removal will be handled and whether piled snow might force 11 Page 27 of 84
