Bruce E. Meyer <br />540 East County Road D <br />Saint Paul, Minnesota 55117 <br />(612) 481 -9064 <br />Mr. Roger Glanzer <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 <br />Dear Mr. Glanzer: <br />JUL 1'1983 <br />C3TY <br />June 29, 198 <br />would like to express my concern for the safety of the families that live <br />along Centerville Road / County Road D in Little Canada. As we discussed over <br />the phone on June 28th, a speed evaluation is needed because because of <br />increased traffic volume due to additional commercial development. We need a <br />slower speed limit than 40 MPH and also we need caution signs that warn the <br />drivers that children live along the road. <br />The racing of cars and trucks that are east -west bound on Centerville Road / <br />County Road D is an ongoing problem. In the past year alone we have had three <br />vehicles run off of the road and onto our property. Families can't walk safely <br />along the road because of its size. Several times our children have been <br />almost injured because of fast cars and trucks accelerating from the <br />intersection or slowing down approaching the stop sign. I believe the drivers <br />are unaware that families live there with children. <br />I feel that if something is not done to lower the speed on that road someone <br />is going to get hurt or killed. The road has a very small shoulder that <br />creates a wide range of hazards. <br />I have been told that it is very hard to alter an established speed limit. It <br />may be hard to alter it, but when it comes to the safety of my children I will <br />be persistent until this matter addressed. <br />I understand that a "SPEED STUDY" is being done from Edgerton Street and <br />County Road D to HWY 61 and County Road D. Because of the progressive amount <br />of traffic on Centerville Road / County Road D, I'm requesting that the "SPEED <br />STUDY" be extended from the point in which Centerville Road branches off from <br />Little Canada Road to the intersection of County Road D and HWY 61. <br />Thank you for taking time to speak with me over the phone and reviewing this <br />letter. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this situation. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bruce E. Meyer <br />17 <br />
