Bloom, Deb <br />From: <br />Sent: <br />To: <br />Subject <br />Brian McCann [brian.mccann@dnr.state.mn.us] <br />Monday, November 25, 2002 7:�49 AM <br />deb.bloom@ci.roseville.mn.us <br />Hwy 280 Reconstruction Project - 2004-05 <br />Ms. Bloom: <br />My read of the above proposal is that it is the best thing that's ever been proposed for <br />our isolated little neighborhood in the 10+ years that I've lived there. We have no <br />sidewalks, no parks or trails, no streetlights, no MTC or commuter bus service, but now <br />perhaps we can have some peace and quiet. Closure of Co. Rd B at Hwy 280 would stem the <br />sometimes heavy flow of thru traffic making our area much quieter, much safer, and much <br />more exclusive. I'd expect an immediate boost in home values to result from this project. <br />A local-traffic-only Co. B would become more pedestrian and bicycle friendly, and the <br />droves of Rosedale shoppers (and shoplifters) would need to take an alternative route. <br />Emergency vehicle sirens and Hwy 280 temporary re-routes (in cases of accident) would also <br />be a thing of the past. I'm guessing that Hwy 280 traffic will also move along more <br />swiftly, without the need for noisey starts and stops (jake-braking is <br />terrible!) at the Co. Rd B stoplight. <br />I'd urge those who oppose this Co. B closure to re-think their position <br />- and to try to get beyond the minor inconvenience of no outlet to Hwy <br />280. With time, they'll be glad they did! Please share my comments <br />with those in attendance at the Dec. 2, 2002 City Council Meeting on this proposal. <br />Brian McCann <br />2131 Fulham Street <br />Roseville, MN <br />651.296.8397 (days) <br />
