Attachment A <br />October 7, 2008 <br />Mr. Bi1I Maiinen <br />Raseville Ciry Nianager <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Rosevilis,lV1N 551 �3 <br />I�ear Mr. Malinen, <br />Attac�ed is a complet�d Rosevil.le Sid�walk petition that 1 conducted in my neighborhaod in regards to campleting a <br />side�alk ar p�thway on the East side of Dale Street between County Rd C and Owasso Hills Drive within the next three <br />years. The need and desire to facilitate this request is clearly evident by the petit►on signatures of residents who live on <br />this steetch. af Dale Street as �vell as Dal� Street �edestrians waIking, running or biking along tk�e s�reet. <br />This stretch of road. is very dangerous due to the high volume of pedestrians as well as the h�gh traffic speeds. It is widely <br />known that vehicles do not keep to the 30 mph speed. timits aiong this part of Dale Street so a sidewalk �s greatl.y needed. <br />My l�usband, Tom, and I live at 2782 Dale 5treet Nortkt and we have two boys, ages 5& 9: There has been an influx of <br />new farnilies with young children on Dale Street within the last couple years. Tvvo of our Da1e Street n.ext door neighbors <br />just had new babies this year. There is also another new famil.y with three young children, atl under the a�;e oi 8 who li.ve <br />on the corner of Dale & Ion.a. One can't help but notice the Iarge number of families with children and strollers walking <br />along t�tis� stretch. With th�e iack of cbntrol of ve��iicles` high speeds along tliis hiil, it is imperative that a sidewalk is� put in <br />before sori�eone gets serio�sly insured or killed? Neighborhaad resi.dents h.ave no�iced that there was a new sidewaIk <br />recently put in on the northern part oi Dale street near Owasso Hills Driv� and �wasso Hills lake but, for whatever reason, <br />the four block stretch betwee�n County Road C& awasso Hills Drive was nat cornp�eted during �la.is tirrie. Roseville <br />spends a lot af money Qn Central Park bt�t more attention and money should be spent on tf�e Roseviile sidewalk situ�tion. <br />I spoke to Deb Bloom, City Engirteer, a few months aga about the p�ssibil�ty of moving the date up to put in this much <br />needed sidewalk along Dale Streef. I learned thai Da�e Street is supposed to be redon� in �.ve years and this stre#ch of <br />sid.ewalk is supposed to be pt�t in at that time. Our road and this sidewalk need to be done now, not five years from now! <br />Ms. $loom said that if I conducted a petition for this sidewalk and collected at least SO% of the residenfs signatures who <br />live on th.is siretch of Dale Street, that there is a good passibi�ity the date cau[d be moved up to get this sidewalk put in. <br />She admitted �ha� the rieet� for a sidewalk along .Dale Street has �een maved �up on the priority list but the Daie Street <br />residents feel that �ve years is not fast en�ugh for those of us who live an this d�ngerous stretch of ro�d. <br />The Gxt�zens of Dale Street are trying to be patient waiting far bofh our road to �e redone and a sic�ewalk to be completed, <br />liut our patience is growing thin: This petifion clearly shows the desire for a sidewalk or �afhway as soan as possible.. <br />I ha.ve oi�fained �etition signatures �ram appraxitnately $0% of the r�esidents � talked to who live o� Dale Street <br />between County Rd C and Owasso Hills Drive, as well as ot�er nearby pedestrians who walk/run/bike along this <br />stretcl� of road. The campletion of this sidewalk would connect the neighborhood �o the pa#hway systems i.n Central <br />Park and Owasso Hills creating a safer and more appealing er�vir�nment for the communi .ty, A sidewalk would maice it <br />feel like an in�itin.g comtnuniiy rather than a drive-by neighbor'hood and it would help to slow the turrZOVer rate �f homes <br />for s�le a�.ong this stretch. The Roseville fre chief and his famiiy used to live across the street from us but moved aff of <br />Dale Street a few years ago because af the traffic speeds and sidevvalk issues alon� this stretch of road. I tearned ihat <br />there have been other families that have sold their hom.es along this stretch o� road for similar reasons as wel.l. This doesn't <br />have to be so, if the City of Rosevilte reprioritizes its ta da l.ist. You know whaY you have to do. The Dale Street residents <br />are speaking. Please listen to us. I will be foll.owing up with a phone eall regarding �his matter shartly sa I can report <br />6ack to my Dale Street residents. Thank you for yaur cooperatior�. I can be reached at fr51-484-607G. <br />Sincerely, <br />� C~�� <br />J ine Hadlich <br />
