Five residents living on Crawford Street apprared in opposi- tion to the establishment of a municipal liquor store at the site of Weber's Cottage Inn because of the daily traf- fic of beer and liquor delivery trucks on their street. They stated that if delivery trucks could be controlled they would not be so objectionable. They suggested the trucks delivering from Snelling Avenue into the liquor store parking lot and leaving by the same route instead of driving east on Crawford Street where children are playing. Also suggested by the residents was for a traffic light at the intersection of Arona and Crawford. They thought this might deter some of the motorists from driving east on Crawford to Arona to avoid the traffic signal on Larpenteur and Snelling.
