New Brighton walkers south of County Road H and west of Long Lake Road <br /> would logically use existing sidewalk to the intersection of.County Road H and Long Lake <br /> Road. This intersection is a four-way stop intersection with clear visibility. It is probably <br /> the safest location for pedestrians to cross County Road H. <br /> The residential area south of County Road H and east of Long Lake Road is very small and <br /> would generate a minimal number of walkers. For this area, it's probably immaterial which <br /> side the-sidewalk-would be on because-theyid-have to cross County Road Hat one location <br /> regardless. <br /> • <br /> A sidewalk on the north side would be the most direct for Mounds View walkers. I doubt if <br /> Mounds View students would use a sidewalk located on the south side of County Road H as <br /> they'd have to cross and recross County Road H at two locations. <br /> For your information, we were able to obtain a variance from the MSA rules to use our <br /> MSA funds to pay for a sidewalk on County Road E west of Silver Lake Road this summer. <br /> This section of County Road E is similar to County Road H in that it does,not meet MSA <br /> standards, and is not proposed to be upgraded for many years. <br /> 803 Fifth Avenue NW • New Brighton, MN 55112 • (612) 633-1533 <br />
