• elements at the State Fair. And, there is additional landscaping and lighting to <br />create a more "pedestrian" friendly intersection at the Snelling and Larpenteur <br />Avenue intersection. <br />• General improvement in the urban landscape. The proposed streetscape plan <br />includes burying the wires in the Snelling and Larpenteur Business District only. <br />Any activity in this area would also work on eliminating some of the less <br />visually desirable elements at the intersection such as the barricades and <br />control boxes on the southeast corner of Snelling Drive. <br />SUMMARY OF COMMENTS RAISED BY MAY 23/24 MEETING PARTICIPANTS <br />(Does not include all comments that were recorded.) <br />• Sidewalks. Where will they be located? Why are they desirable? Can they be <br />continuous on one side of the street for ease of access rather than going from <br />side to side? How will they be maintained given the volume of snow on <br />Larpenteur? Will they bring pedestrians closer to my home? Who will use <br />them? <br />• On-street parking, particularly east of Snelling Avenue. Will any on-street <br />parking be available? If so, where and how will it fit in with other <br />• improvements? <br />• Landscaping along the fields. Will the proposed landscaping along the fields <br />interrupt the field activities or negatively affect experimental plots? Will it <br />interfere with some of the open views from abutting properties? <br />• Access for agricultural vehicles to the fields. Will the traffic signal and <br />intersection at Fairview and Larpenteur be able to be coordinated for access to <br />the fields off of Fairview Avenue? <br />• Proposed underpass at Coffman. Will the underpass be open to pedestrians for <br />more than the golf season because there is a bus stop across the street? How <br />will security be assured in an underpass? <br />• Creating a 'business friendly' business district. How will landscaping be <br />selected and placed to enhance the visibility and desirability of the businesses <br />not to hide them? Are there better ways to make the Snelling and Larpenteur <br />more open for customers and more pedestrian friendly than currently proposed? <br />• streetscape design compatibility with neighboring land uses. Can private <br />landscaping design be coordinated with the streetscape design as it proceeds? <br />• State Fair plans. How much flexibility is there in the proposed plan for some <br />minor changes in the State Fair street access? <br />
