9 MR. NOVAK: It would make it much easier for traffic to get on ltinnesota if it was. It would make it accessible to Little Canada business establishments to get on Minnesota. MR. HONCHELL: I can only say it's not part of this pro- posal and I never know what the future will bring in the years ahead, but we're not contemplating that. MR. JOHN HILL, 302 Minnesota: I'm about midway between Rice and the end of the proposed work and it's kind of a low area - not as low as Mark Novak, but I have a catch basin that drops right now about an eight foot drop from the road level it's at and I have a lot of trouble with water coming down the road from the north side of the street and from quite a distance down the street, and I just want a fair assurance that with the crown being as far north in the road that I'm still not going to have a similar water problem with the length that it does (inaudible) down that low spot. Are the gutters going to be at the curb level? On the proposal it looks like the catch basin is behind where the curb would be. How are the openings going to be set up in the curbing? MR. HONCHELL: Generally speaking, the catch basins are at the curb as far as away from the centerline and in severe locations such as what you have it's entirely possible we might have a double basin, or whatever is necessary, depending when we calculate how much water is coming from where when we put the curb in. MR. HAROLD DAHLQUIST,446 Minnesota: If we move the crown south on the road, how can we possibly keep the water from coming in the driveways? MR. HONCHELL: You mean if you move the crown north? MR. DAHLQUIST: Right. I'm the end house off Western (inaudible) one inch crown we're holding back some of the water. With the rest of the slope we will scrape more than the bottom off the car. I am in complete agreement if in some way, shape or form we can get an arterial stop sign on Western. By the lack of traffic we have on our street, some say, it's a wide open shot, you can see the whole undercarriage. They're right up in the air and have no control. If we could break that straight shot - We have had several children injured on that road already. The next one could be worse. I have to be in sympathy with the people on the north side getting the parking. It would probably be better on the south side for (inaudible) but I can see the problem of coming out of our lower driveways and I don't know what you're going to do there. It would be better if we didn't park on the streets at all, like in Maplewood. MR. MARK NOVAK, 280 Minnesota: On the paper it states that completion might start in the summer or the spring of 1981. MR. HONCHELL: That's the tentative schedule.
