.N <br />November 7, 1989 <br />Sue Hankner — Mayor <br />Mounds View City Hall <br />2401 Highway 10 <br />Mounds View, MN 55112 <br />Dtar. Sue: <br />We want to bring to your attention the enclosed petition for adding, at <br />least, two street (night) lights on Long Lake Road (between Hillview and <br />Cty Road I). Most blocks in Mounds View have a light on each end of the <br />block and two lights in between, (which is what we are entitled to). On <br />our block, which is two blocks long, there are only lights on each end. <br />It is our understanding that Long Lake Road will be expanded <br />(tentativley) May 1991. However, we do not want to wait that long for <br />adequate lighting. <br />11 <br />It is so dark on our block, which receives a lot of traffic, that cars <br />put on their "bright" headlights to give them extended vision. This <br />bright Light blinds pedestrian and on coming traffic. Which creates a V <br />dangerous situation on our busy street. (I <br />When our children go to any of the city parks, our closest park is at <br />the end of our block — Hillview Park, our street should have proper <br />Lighting to ensure their safety. <br />Our home was recently burglarized and we feel that adequate lighting <br />will deter future crimes. Also, emergency vehicles use this street at <br />increased speeds — making a child in the dark an easy victim. A dead or <br />maimed child/person is too big a price to pay, (and we do not need to <br />have children abducted in our community). Let's act now. <br />Thank you for your cooperation in this obvious need for proper lighting <br />which ultimately leads to a safer community. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dayna Monaghan <br />7720 Long Lake Road <br />Mnds Vw, MN 55112 <br />PS A few homes were not available to sign petition. -� <br />CC: P Blanchard, C Quich, D Wuori, M Ulrich <br />
