pedestrian and bicycle traffic to think about as well. There are students who attend Spectrum <br />schools that walk and ride this area as well as those who do so for the train. We have a number <br />of industrial plants/businesses in the area as well. Adding additional congestion will only make <br />the area more dangerous. We have a lot of commercial industry in the area already so why not <br />keep it that or single housing to keep the area semi rural as it is with the larger lots around. Not <br />a fan. <br /> <br />We already have a struggle with speeding on 175th as many see it as a right of way, raceway <br />currently. <br /> <br />Twin Lakes Road is terrible in regards to the curves and hills in it for safety while driving, <br />especially during the winter months. It has caused a number of spin outs and crashes, even <br />when the individuals is going under the speed limit based on road condition s. Twin Lakes Road <br />itself is in need of repairs based on pavement bulging and deterioration at the curves. <br /> <br />Lastly, there is concern about the rebuild of Hwy 10 and its affects on Twin Lakes Road without <br />the addition of more people and more vehicles and pedestrians on the area. It would be <br />responsible to make sure we have roadways and space to support additional structures before <br />going ahead with the later. <br /> <br /> <br />A listed benefit for the city is an increase of property taxes on that location from $4,500 a <br />year to an estimated $40,108. <br /> <br />If it is approved I would hope the increase in tax revenue would allow our area to be snow <br />plowed in a timely manner as it currently is not and we pay a boat load in property tax. Also, <br />would that allow for additional police patrol through the neighborhood as well as monitoring of <br />175th based on traffic speed infractions occurring multiple times a day? <br /> <br /> It seems we already get the short end of the stick in regards to keeping up are green spaces <br />and such in the area of 175th vs that same type of green space in the area of Elk Lake <br />Rd/Proctor. We have deteriorating sidewalks and curbs throughout our neighborhood that the <br />city is not address and in fact some homeowners are repairing themselves at their own cost. <br /> <br />It would be good to ask the individuals in these area neighborhoods before just going ahead <br />with the cities own agenda. <br />
