Kl�llogp 91vd. <br />220 Ramsey County Courthouse <br />St. Paul, MN 55102 F'- <br />Re: Pedestrian S8f91y: Acorn PBrk Access and County Road C <br />Dear Commissioner Wf�SBner: <br />Knowing your commitment to Ramsey County and Roseviiie neighborhoods, I would like to <br />share with you my interest in assisting you to make improvements to the County Road C <br />crosswalk at Gaitier Str�eet to Acorn Pstk. I have express similar concerns to Roseville Council <br />Member John �OAd9k8. � <br />Yesterday was a loveiy Easter Sunday: And it nearly ended in a tragedy for two young girls <br />trying to cross County Road C�8 they returned home after spending time playing tennis in <br />Acorn Park. My m&her-in-law, my husband and I, along with our two small children, were a15o <br />returning to our home when we witnessed several cars barreling down on the young tennis <br />players. The screeching tires and close call as the cars barely avoided running these kids down <br />was enough to cause me to promise my5elf I will never let my daughters go the block and a half <br />to Acorn Park unattended when they are presumably old enough. The girls I watch as they <br />were prBCtic.alty mowed down by racing C3tS were young teens; old enough to go somewhere <br />with a buddy and to follow t►�fiiC laws. By the way, they were lawfully crossing in a marked <br />pedestrian crosswalk. <br />A few safety measures may reduce the potential danger all people face as they try to cross a <br />road to use a wonderful RoSAville amenity. Some simple enhancements may afford enough <br />protections to enhance safety without impeding the flow of traffic. They may also serve to better <br />protect residents of Ramsey County -just like these young people who came insanely �IoSe to <br />a t r a g e d y. <br />My request for improvements simpiy may indude a can of paint, a few signs and a couple of <br />light bulbs and b�ttetteS. 'T'11� following are my ideas. <br />1. Mark the road several hundred feet before the crosswalk with a warning to the driver <br />that the pedestrian crossing is approaching. I know this can be done, I've seen it in <br />other communities and it realty is not very much different than the prior warnings are <br />one is sppro8chin9 a train crossing. <br />
