that it would remain a closed issue. Please refer to the Appendix C letters from <br /> the Roseville Public Works Director and Planning and Zoning Administrator to <br /> Roseville residents. <br /> 5. There are several large,beautiful oak trees located on the cul-de-sac. To consider <br /> destroying this part of our community's natural environment to make way for <br /> more traffic is an irreplaceable loss for all residents. <br /> 6. Finally,the issue of who pays for road reconstruction is a touchy one. The <br /> residents of Josephine Road recently received a beautifully remodeled street, <br /> complete with colored, stamped concrete walkways, landscaping, special areas for <br /> parking extra cars on the road and a wide sidewalk. We find it especially ironic <br /> that these residents contributed no property tax money of their own for these <br /> improvements, and instead found a way to appropriate state money for their <br /> project. If any other street in Roseville received such improvements,who would <br /> be assessed additional monies to pay for them? In the case of Josephine Road,the <br /> taxpayers at large have funded a road improvement project for the benefit of a <br /> handful of lakefront homeowners. Why,then, shouldn't the residents of the area <br /> enjoy using the road they paid for? <br /> We think there are less expensive solutions to the alleged problems on Josephine Road, <br /> beginning with their suggestion that a stop sign be placed at Josephine Road and <br /> Fernwood. We also believe a strategically placed stoplight on Lexington Avenue at <br /> Josephine Road would slow and stop traffic often enough to allow sufficient entry points <br /> for motorists waiting to enter Lexington Avenue at Josephine Road(see Appendix A, <br /> Josephine Road letter about traffic concerns on Lexington Avenue). <br /> Again,we refer you to the petition in Appendix B signed by Roseville property owners <br /> against removing the County Road C-2 cul-de-sac. We are confident that we can obtain <br /> additional signatures, if necessary. We thank you for considering our point of view in <br /> this matter, and strongly urge you to leave County Road C2 unchanged. <br /> On behalf of the Concerned Roseville Residents of the County Road C-2 Area, <br /> Donna and David Miliotis <br /> 1128 County Road C-2 <br /> Roseville,MN 55113 <br /> Ph: (651)484-6782 <br /> cc: Duane Schwartz,Public Works Director <br /> Deb Bloom, City Engineer <br /> Roseville Housing and Redevelopment Authority <br /> 111 I <br />
