1433 Shavor I would suggest putting them in at the head of the alley on both sides. Johnson I have to get into my garage. P~4y garage is at the rear property line. I think the only answer is to vacate it and let us maintain it that way. Nilsen read report from Dahlgren, which read, in part, as follows: "Alley noes not serve it's intended function of providing vehicular access to the lots facing Larpenteur, which use direct street access. Home owner on Holton, immediately north of the alley, uses alley as a driveway. East portion is surfaced with crushed rock. P.emainder is unimproved. Alley serves important function in providing pedestrian access to~the business district. Pedestrian traffic would be more adequately served with a sidewalk along Larpenteur. Pdhen sidewalk is installed, alley would no longer be needed, and could be relinquished to the adjoining property owners." Nilsen read report from the Planning Co^~mission which read, in part, as follows: "The Planning Hoard recommends that the alley be closed to automobile traffic by erecting a barricade, but that it remain as Village Property and that it be kept open to pedestrian and bicycle traffic. If, after two years, the change has resulted in any further problems, or if the use by pedestrian and bicycle traff'e does not justify it's continuance as public property; or if a sidewalk is constructed on Larpenteur, the case should again be reviewed." Johnson Under those circumstances, the only thing to do is to show cause. Shavor Show cause why the alley should not be uacated? ".Zrs. S. L. There have been many times when we hay=e been kept awake by cars Carlson 1713 going thru that- alley. One night a telephone truck kept us awake Holton all night. Johnson I just put four ton of crushed rock in there. Nilsen You have to keep up your end because you have to go through there to get into your garage. Johnson I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be closed. Coppini Has that alley ever been black-topped. I notice the alleys t+est of it have been black topped. Graham The ovaners of the abutting property paid for the improvement of those alleys. Johnson The other blocks are semi-commercial -- duplexes, !t plexes and apartments. They need an alley. I am the only adjoining property owner who uses the alley in question. Plilsen I have always felt we should have sidewalks on Larpenteur, as well as Arona. People shouldn't have to walk on these busy streets on their way to the business section. Johnson People walk along the boulevards on Larpenteur.
