.TUN-22-1995 14:43 FROM MICRO -TECH <br />TO 7843462 P.01/01 <br />June 22, 1995 <br />City of Mounds View <br />2401 Highway 10 <br />Mounds View, MN 55112 <br />Dear Mayor / City Council, <br />As residents of Mounds View and the parents of two small children (ages 3 and 9-months) <br />we have enjoyed the wonderful park facilities we have in our city. We have particularly <br />enjoyed Silver View Park which is the park nearest our home. The problem we continually <br />encounter, however, is accessing the park via foot, bike, stroller, wagon, etc. The park is <br />within walking -distance -from our house, but to do so requires walking along County Rd. 1, <br />which can be a very dangerous walk. <br />We are writing to request that the city consider adding a side walk or trail along County Rd. 1, <br />west of Silver Lake Road. <br />One of the reasons we selected Mounds View as the place to raise our children was the <br />abundance of parks and a perceived commitment on the part of the city towards sidewalks <br />and trails. A sidewalk along the west extension of County Rd. I would provide the many <br />families in our neighborhood (South of Hwy 10 and West of Silver Lake Road) safe access <br />not only to Silver View Park, but also to the businesses and restaurants in the area (and to <br />Bridgeman's and Mounds View Square once the pedestrian bridge is complete). <br />As we watch the city council meetings on TV, it seems that safety is at the heart of many <br />issues, We feel that it is extremely unsafe to access the park on foot (or bike) from our house <br />at this time. As you plan your (our) budget, we hope you seriously consider our suggestion, <br />Please feel free to call us if you have any questions or comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />*-111`^i <br />Tom and Theresa Welty <br />7565 Groveland Rd. <br />Mounds View, MN 55112 <br />780-4865 <br />TOTAL P.01 <br />
