2395 <br /> go down Holton and I have screamed at a few children <br /> to watch out. This is a danger spot on Holton. Of- <br /> course, ib. the afternoon there isn't as much traffic <br /> going through there. <br />Mrs. C. Alexander I have walked three kindergarten children through the <br />1868 Arona: walkway. We have met with rude remarks. Iast year with <br /> Girl Scouts I had to climb over a mountain of snow to <br /> get to the school. I fell once and they sat there and <br /> laughed. This is a matter of personal vindictiveness <br /> and it hardly befits adults. The matter is really to <br /> vacating city property to personal use. The village <br /> deserves a big bouquet of roses for the recreation <br /> program - our kids enjoy it a great deal. The other <br /> day I sailed through that walkc~ray as fast as I could <br /> go because of an accident. These things do happen because <br /> children have to grow up and sometimes it isn't easily <br /> done. I think that maybe a lift le more understanding and <br /> a little more help would make the village a more pleasant <br /> place to live. Broken brush and branches are part of <br /> living. <br />Nilsen: Mr. Alexander, you said something about bikes. <br />C. Alexander: The Village should provide fence or blacktop and block <br /> it so vehicular traffic cannot go through. <br />K,jel]and: Posts were talked about before. <br />Nilsen: How far do you permit your children to go on bikes? <br />R,jelland: We tell them not to go on Snelling and be careful on <br />Garden. I don't mind if they bike on any streets in <br />the village other than Snelling. <br />Mrs. R. 0 lson I have a nine year old who cannot ride on Garden. You <br />1851 Asbury; do not see many riding on Garden even to the summer <br />recreation program.. I would like to see bikes go through <br />the walkway. <br />Black: If this were paved or b]acktopped and finished, it could <br />be a speedway for some. <br />Alexander: How about a gate or something like that? <br />Beardsley: We are here on a petition to vacate this walkway. In <br />the alternative, if the council does deny, then it is <br />the position of the pet~.tioners that it be maintained <br />by the village as a walkway - that it not be paved or <br />blacktopped -also that a fence be put up. <br />Mrs. Alexander, we regret vindictiveness - I regret if <br />any was stirred up. There is no personal vindictiveness <br />from the petitioners toward your children. Also, they <br />do not shovel their snow iri this walkway. <br />Isaksenr Who's going to maintain this thing, keep the grass cut, <br />etc.? <br />Alexander: Is this land to be just given to the people or what? <br />
