pedestrians back into the street, potentially reintroducing some of the safety risks the project is helpingto solve. Overall, though, I think this is a very positive change. I've already used the area several times since the project began, and the improvement feels noticeable and beneficial. Thank you for all the work that went into making it happen! Best regards, 25. Couple of comments on the test, which I'm assuming are the white pylons. Love the idea of having a designated space for walking and kids biking away from traffic. Just not sure this is the solve. I imagine the pitons will be driven over like the ones on Fairview are. And what about wintertime? The placement also seems off. Why don't the pitons go all the way to the access point for the park? It's a small area that's protected. Could the road be repainted to allow for a designated walking/biking lane on one side? The bigger issue is the speed at which people drive and come flying up and over that blind hill by the park. 26. Hello, My name is [REDACTED]. I live on Sextant Ave W in the same development as Keya Park. I walk the neighborhood often. I walked and drove by the park to see the temporary delineators. Compared to the Hamline Bike Lane delineators (which I don't like), the Keya Park delineators make more sense and may accomplish the city's goal of improving safety for park users. The disregard for the parking restrictions along the park up to the new path/fire hydrant has been a concern since the parkwas renovated and reopened. I did notice there seem to be more No Parking signs than there had been so that could help, I also think shorter poles would be more visible to drivers. I think the temporary barriers are sufficient to create space between drivers and the curbing. I don't think adding a permanent curb and a sidewalk (we don't have sidewalks in Roseville only'paths'). will be a good fit. Will the city actually bring the snow removal machine into the neighborhood to clean that small strip or will it go unplowed under snow? Would a permanent curb be painted with reflective paint to prevent drivers from hitting it in the dark? There's not much street lighting in that area. I think the height of the delineators is more attention getting than a curb/sidewalk would be. What is prompting this project now? Whywasn't it thought of or addressed when the parkwas renovated? The path was moved due to safety concerns then. Has there actually been a safety incident or just thoughtless people NOT reading no parking signs or abiding posted speed limits and park/playground signs? I pointed out the no parking signs to park staff when the new playground equipmentwas installed after they parked there unthinkingly. I also don't understand why the END NO PARKING sign is right in front of a fire hydrant. Why not just post the No Parkingzone all the way to the path entrance? 27. Greetings, I have comments and questions regarding the delineation of bike lanes on Hamline from County Road B-2 south to Commerce Street and the "temporary sidewalk" on Pascal near Brooks Ave. and Keya Park. Both areas are marked usingwhite marking poles. 28. Bike Lane on Hamline: Relatively speaking, the bike lane on Hamline is pro portionatelywider than the traffic lane and forces vehicles traveling in opposite directions closer to each other. The pavement in the traffic lane for the south bound traffic also is uneven/has grooves which make it somewhat difficult to navigate, pulling tires toward the lane of oncoming traffic. I frequently drive on this section of Hamline and have seen very few bikes in the bike lanes. At the very least, those lanes should be narrowed to allow more room in the traffic lanes. Vehicles now stack up behind 7 Page 28 of 84
