Perhaps I was not explicit enough in the previous messages. The <br />safety of pedestrians is the responsibility of all citizens of Roseville, especially our <br />elected officials. This responsibility is at least as important as the financial interests <br />of speculators who buy properties for subdivision. <br />Because I spend a good deal of time in my front yard, I know that Marion Road is used <br />extensively by pedestrians (including many children) at all times of the day and in all <br />seasons. Neighbors from the entire Manson Hills neighborhood use our street for walking <br />because of its park-like atmosphere and because there are no Roseville parks nearby in which <br />they can exercise. These pedestrians are walking in the street because there are no <br />sidewalks. <br />Making an off-the-cuff estimate, we could logically assume that the proposed subdivision to <br />three lots will regularly bring four additional cars into the neighborhood (two cars per <br />home). However, we must also assume that additional subdivision will follow once this one <br />is approved. Subdivision of the nine additional available lots would bring 36 additional <br />cars (if subdivided into two lots) or 54 additional cars (if subdivided into three lots). It <br />is logical to assume that the increased traffic will have a negative impact on the safety of <br />those pedestrians. <br />~am concerned that the planning committee has not provided us with data showing the impact <br />of such subdivisions on pedestrian safety in the neighborhood. Do you know the number of <br />pedestrians who use this street every day? If the data exist, I hope you will share it with <br />1 <br />
