MORITZ <br />INVESTIGATORS: <br />PATRICK (SKIP) MORITZ <br />CHUNG YANG <br />VIA <br />FACSIMILE TRANSMISSION <br />Re: TRAFFIC CONCERNS AT PAYNE AND ALLEN <br />Dear Mr. Hanson: <br />My family and I reside at 3000 Payne Avenue, on the corner of Payne and Allen, in <br />Little Canada. My wife and I have three children ranging in age from four to eight <br />years. <br />Mr. Doug Peterson has provided me with a copy of your May 21, 1993, letter to him. <br />I have reviewed your letter and must take exception with a number of supposed facts set <br />forth therein. My exception to those facts is based upon my personal observations as well <br />as those of my wife and other neighbors. <br />First, the monitoring time presented in your letter is not correct. The observing deputy <br />was present for no more than forty -five minutes. <br />Secondly, the sheriff's vehicle was not an "unmarked car ". The vehicle was clearly <br />marked as being a Ramsey County Sheriff's vehicle. <br />Thirdly, the positioning of the marked sheriff's vehicle seriously calls into question the <br />officer's opinion that he "was not observed by any . . . vehicle which would have <br />impacted [the] results" of his study. I personally observed the location of the sheriff's <br />vehicle and it could clearly be observed by vehicles approaching the intersection. <br />Fourthly, your observation that there are no other complaints by area residents is no <br />longer true. Attached is a petition circulated by Mr. Robert Goeple. I trust this <br />emphasizes the concerns of many of the area residents. <br />506 MINNESOTA BUILDING • 46 EAST 411-1 STREET <br />ST PAUL.
