Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. St �'a��, MN 55155 Commissioner�is Sanda Metropolitan Council 11730 Hasti�g� St. NE Blaine, MN 55449 Dear Gov. Pawlenty, Lt. Gov. Molnau, Senator Mariy, Rep. Greiling, Chairman Bell and Commissioner Sanda: I am concerned about litter along the west side of Suelling Avenue in Roseville between County Road B and �oselawn Avenue. Residents and visitors to Roseville complain about the ongoing problem of trash and other debris in and near the two Metropolitan Transit bus shelters there, on the west side. I am concerned that the State and Met Transit are not taking care of your properiy and that reflects badly on the appearance of our City. The City does what it can, placing trash cans near the transit shelters. Nearby businesses have agreed to empty the trash cans, but trash accumulates faster than those businesses can feasibly take care of them. In addition, the City recently entered into an agreement with "�"ranstop to locate transit shelters in Roseville. Under an agreement with the City, "�"ranstap keeps its shelters ffe� of graffiti and litter. Tzanstop asl�ed Met Transit if it could place its shelters where the two Met Transit shelters are currentlylocated, yet Met Transit refused. That is too bad. Transtop at least keeps its shelters and the area around them clean.
