Mounds View City Council January 22, 1990 Regular Meeting Page Five 410 Terry O'Keefe, 8261 Knollwood Drive, questioned who picked Knollwood, as Groveland, which is one block over, is much wider. Mayor Hankner stated they would have to refer that back to MnDOT and get their historical perspective. Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, stated he was con- cerned with cutting off emergency vehicles from the north, but if J were to go under the bridge, they could still allow all streets access. John Johnson, 8480 Knollwood Drive, stated the majority of the residents have not lived there for many years, and did not do their homework. He ques- tioned where the people from .Ardan Avenue and Green- wood are, as they should be concerned also. Mayor Hankner stated they hope to still hear back from them, as over 500 surveys were distributed yesterday. Jim Nelson, 8360 Knollwood Drive, stated he has lived there for 13 years and feels this was a carefully guarded secret, and he would favor making . a service road and tying the other roads into it. He questioned whether it is required that Knollwood be the access, as he is concerned with safety. Mr. Minetor replied it is not required, but the State designed it according to the previous Council request. Mayor Hankner questioned how the council can be sure the people become informed. Mr. Nelson stated individual letters should have been sent out. Mayor Hankner noted in polling residents, no one had received a map from MnDOT. Ms . Trude stated the MnDOT notice was not clear, and suggested there may be legal problems with the notices. She also noted no map was enclosed. Mayor Hankner noted the notice for the next meeting would be included in the Focus, New Brighton Bulletin, City newsletter, on the message board in front of City Hall, post card mailing, door to door notices, • and on cable tv. Mr. Pahl again reviewed the history of this project and what progress means.
