River <br /> <br />Fire Department <br /> <br />415 Jackson Avenue <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />March 29, 2002 <br /> <br />Michele McPherson <br />City Planner <br />13065 Orono parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />Michele: <br /> <br />I would like to respond to the question of one of the Planning Commission members at <br />the Tuesday March 26, 2002 meeting, referencing the travel distance on Orono Road <br />versus Orono Parkway. I traveled both roads, on Wednesday March 27, 2002, from the <br />proposed exit driveway for the emergency vehicles, as they would enter either Orono <br />Road or Orono Parkway. <br /> <br />The distance from the exit of the proposed fire station onto Orono Road, then Orono <br />Road to the Joplin Street four-way stop is .5 of one mile. The distance from the exit of the <br />proposed fire station onto Orono Parkway, then Orono Parkway to Joplin St, proceeding <br />on Joplin St to the Joplin St, Orono Road four-way stop is .55 of one mile. The difference <br />is .05 of 1-mile travel distance. <br /> <br />The question was a valid concern in reference to possible "extra" travel distance because <br />of the closing of Orono Road. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call me <br />at the Elk River Fire Department. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />Bruce A.
