' a October' 4 1988 To : Chief Timothy Ramacher Ref : Attached Street Light Map Dear Chief Ramacher, Attached, please find a map, of the locations throughout the city, where I feel the installation of additional streetlights are needed. With these additional streetlights , I believe that the safety of the neighborhoods will be preserved, for the citizens of Mounds View, by reducing crimes (burglary, theft, vandalism) and safely lighting their way. It will also help us , to better observe the activity that occurs , in many of our unlite - problem areas . I know that this seems like alot of additional streetlights , 105 in fact, but it seems that many of these areas were overlooked, for additional lighting, as the business and residential areas grew, over the years . I welcome you to drive these areas, late at night , and I ' m sure you will agree with their placement locations . I tried to place the additional streetlights, in accordance with the location of the streetlights on the adjoining streets and feel that at least one streetlight, should be located at every street corner. Some of these areas, such as Mustang Drive, Scotland Court, Woodlawn Drive; etc. , give the false image of already having sufficient street lighting, but that is due to the illumination of the area, by private security-lighting,, that has been -installed, in • _ _ - - = = - -- •- _ -- - security lights are on timers and the area becomes completly black, when they go out. I realize that with the large number of streetlights, that I have listed, that it may take several years , to complete their total installation; but I recommend that strong consideration be given to this matter, so that the process can be started. Thank You: Sincerely, cc : City Administrator Mayor Michael A. K:nic City Council Members
