James E. Studenski, P.E.
Lino Lakes City Engineer
Dear Mr. Studenski,
We are writing this letter in response to the proposed
reconstrution of Elm Street between Lake Driue and Sunset in
Lino Lakes. This project, as portrayed to us, is something
Rochelle and I are vehemently opposed to.
Drainage ditches and pedestrian waIkwags were just put
in a few years ago. During the construction of the walkway, my
sprinkler system was destroyed. Furthermore, with the walkway
now in its current location, it cuts off about 1/3 of my Front
yard. This past summer, we spent close to S1,500.00 dollars to
repair damages sustained from the walkway installation. Please
don't think that I felt like putting that much money into
repairing something the citg destroyed, just to rip it back out
again?
The last point we wish to make is the new road itself,
and what issues this brings to the neighborhood. Raving lived
in a neighborhood in the past that had a new road put in, our
biggest concern is SAFTE9? Hewer, wider roads bring two things
along with them. One; vehicles travelling at a higher rate of
speed, and two; potential danger For the children of our
neighborhood. Elm Street already has a respectable uolune of
traffic due to the schools, church and access to shopping_
Pedestrians, mostly children are quite numerous on a daily
basis. Adding width and new surfacing to this road at this
time would be like pouring gasoline on a fire to put it out?
It just is not fathomable.
PLEASE reconsider this proposal for the reconstruction
of Elm Street. It is our opinion that we share the same
feelings as many other residents of our lovely neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Rochelle & Mark
