Mayor Linke commented that another nearby City had turned us down and he would be pursuing that issue in the near future. Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, commented that now that Long Lake Road is .complete there has been a tremendous amount of rollerbladers, skateboarders and persons walking their dogs, using the middle of Long Lake Road rather than the newly built sidewalk. The problem that arises is there are no speed limit signs posted on the road and, therefore, cars move very fast down the road and Mr. Frits stated that, in his opinion, this is a tragedy waiting to happen. Mr. Frits further stated that semis drive that road at 2:00 a.m. .Mayor Linke responded to Mr. Frits' comment in that he participated as a ride-along with the Police Department last week and witnessed tickets being written for speeding on that road.
