02/17/04 FIR QC S" <br /> Petition to leave roads in Sunset Ridge Development as they are. <br /> The neighborhood of the Sunset Ridge Development wishes to have the City <br /> of Elk River consider other alternatives to the future growth of the <br /> developments adjacent to this existing neighborhood. <br /> Presently, the development has 2 roads leading into the development ending <br /> at a dead end at the 189th block of Lincoln Street. The city is considering <br /> extending the road to the south and east of the dead-end, continuing on into <br /> other developments. We feel that this will lead to a considerable increase in <br /> traffic within the development endangering the lives of our children. The <br /> intersection of Lincoln and Twin Lakes road is a dangerous intersection as it <br /> is. The curve on Twin Lakes road makes it difficult to see oncoming traffic <br /> from the South. Vegetation growth limits visual field in the summer and <br /> snow banks in the winter make this an even more dangerous intersection. <br /> There are no street lights in this development and the roads twist and turn <br /> limiting visibility. There have been numerous close calls in this <br /> neighborhood as it is. With increased traffic someone will be hit. People <br /> come to our neighborhood to walk the streets and enjoy this area as it is safer <br /> to walk than Twin Lakes road is. If a road is put through that will also <br /> change and it will no longer be safe or enjoyable to walk around. The <br /> present development has been a peaceful and quiet place for the occupants, <br /> and we feel, to open up the roadway will take all of that away from us. There <br /> is no benefit to those of us who live here, but this road will cost us dearly. <br /> There has to be a safer and better alternative than changing our quiet <br /> neighborhood. <br /> We are petitioning the City to consider other alternatives, such as roads to <br /> the north and east entering from Twin Lakes Road and Co. Rd. #40 <br /> accessing these new areas. Please keep us informed of any meetings <br /> regarding this road and surrounding developments. Don't keep us in the dark <br /> on decisions affecting our neighborhood. <br /> Name Address Telephone <br /> I ''- d2--, A13-4/1/4.-38 33 IIIPALeAras <br /> T/,off : 2Gr4 Lfrc<.w 7( W/TWO <br /> / <br /> Cgdeezrt(a 19a<1OL , 2rltA) 'IG3-Vol-Z3?3 <br /> _AZ ',clot, 19o4o l'wean 74e3-j4HI-L313 <br />
