136? <br />Grahams Let me make myself clear. Every walk in the City of <br />St. Paul is on property belonging to the City. The City oP <br />St. Paul doesn't shovel the snow or cut the grass on the boulevard. <br />We cut the grass ourselves. If we put a walk in here, we could <br />not send a man out to cut the grass or trim the bushes once a week, <br />dust as we do not cut the boulevard in front of each house. We <br />would be responsible for the safety of the walk, but you have <br />some responsibilities as property owners. <br />Heftys I don't think you would go-for the set up we have. <br />Nilsens Paul's motion died for lack of a second, didn't it? <br />Coppinis I still move that the Council vacate the walkway in <br />favor of the ad3oining property owners. <br />Nilsens Do I hear a second? <br />Nilsens I declare the motion dead. <br />Coppini: Mould the Village Engineer give a rough estimate? <br />L3ungrens About ffi2.00 a foot for a !~' vialk. Z think shrubbery <br />is dangerous. You~are inviting bullies and hemming people in <br />where there is no way of escape. <br />Hefty: I think an analysis should be made to see horr many <br />people actually use that walk. <br />Nilsens I think we should take a little more time. There isn't <br />that urgency paw. You have lived there for nine years. Let's <br />develop some facts. <br />Heftys I think it would be much xorse if you put any type of <br />walk through there because then you are going to have a bigger <br />rroblem with bikes and motor cycles. They go across my lawn and <br />it would be better if it were left as it is. Whether you do <br />anything with the walkway or not, I do think you should put an <br />arc light on Holton at Rug-files. There should also be a stop <br />sign on Ruggles at Holton and Ruggles at Pascal. <br />Warkentien: Can it be assumed that you would be willing to drop <br />the matter rather than have the walkway improved? <br />Heftys Definitely. <br />Geisens We ha~:re taken care of it all these years and it looks <br />nice. If you put a walkway through there, you are inviting trouble. <br />I r-ould rather leave it 3ust as it is. I wouldn't stop them. I <br />would oppose putting a culvert in there. <br />Coppinis T think they have been very considerate about taking care <br />of this property. They have presented their evidenc® very clearly <br />and we should eive them a lot of consideration. <br />Nilsens Yes, but I think`we should take time to study this and <br />be sound in our decisions. <br />Heftys There aren't many who use it, but if a walkway were put <br />in, we would put our property up for sale. <br />
