October 27, 2004 <br />Honorable Mayor and Council Members <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 -1633 <br />RE: County Road B2 Traffic <br />Dear Council Members: <br />The traffic on County Road B -2 between Edgerton and Arcade is out of <br />control! Once known as "B -2 Speedway" it is now the "L.C. Dragstrip ". <br />The majority of vehicles on this straight stretch exceed the speed limit, many <br />by far above the 30•MPH limit. Drivers who observe that limit are passed by <br />speeders in spite of the double yellow line. <br />We have requested,since the proposal of Gervais Hills,those studies of traffic <br />speed and numbers be undertaken but those requests have been to no avail. <br />Soon many worker cars, trucks, construction machinery, etc. will be present. <br />Finally, there will be, no doubt, 24 -36 more cars from the 2 -3 -car garages in <br />the development when it is completed. <br />For many years our pleas to Ramsey County for speed control aid fell on deaf <br />ears. Now that we are "just a city street of Little Canada" we petition you, <br />our city managers, to undertake on our behalf at least some form of relief. <br />Since we already live with an impossible situation, we request some action to <br />be initiated as soon as possible rather than after this new onslaught is <br />completed. <br />Our requests, of course, begin with a three -way stop at Greenbrier or the <br />new cul -de -sac, more and larger speed limit signs and an increased police <br />patrol. <br />The street is far too dangerous for the numbers of hikers, bikers, joggers and <br />dog - walkers who avail themselves of our designated paths. We also have to <br />face intimidation as we cross for our mail boxes. <br />We would appreciate it if you will place this matter on the agenda for the <br />appropriate November meeting; the 10`h or the 24th and notify us of the <br />proper date. <br />Thank you for your cooperation. <br />3 <br />
