Petition in support of a walkinglbiking path and a community gathering <br />space/park on the triangular lot at2701 Kenzie Terrace <br />To the Mayor and City Council of St. Anthony Village: <br />We, the undersigned, hereby urge the Village of Saint Anthony to create a walking/biking path <br />along the south side of the 27th Ave NE alley between Stinson and Kenzie Terrace and a <br />community gathering place/park on the triangular lot at 2701 Kenzie Terrace. <br />Why a walking/biking path in this location? <br />1. Consistent with the St. Anthony mission to be "walkable", this provides a safe walking <br />link for residents between Stinson and Kenzie Terrace. <br />2. With the increase in residents in the Urban Grove and Development 65, both families <br />with young children and Seniors have an increased need for safe walking paths. <br />3. Creates a connection to Hennepin County Grand Rounds and Ramsey County bike <br />paths. <br />Why a park at this location? <br />1. A large and growing number of seniors (age 55+; live nearby, as do families with young <br />children. Both groups have limited mobility, and both need outdoor recreationalspace for <br />health and enjoyment. <br />The general community in the nearby area needs the benefits of an outdoor space for <br />recreation and gathering. <br />Despite annual taxes of $1.0 ltt paid by these residents, there is no public park in the <br />south St. Anthony (SOSA) neighborhood bounded by Stinson, Kenzie Terace, and St <br />Anthony Boulevard. <br />There is an opportunity to create a park in the undeveloped triangular lot at 2701 Kenzie <br />Terrace, a central location for recreationally-underserved south St Anthony. The owner of <br />the lot has stated that he would be willing to sell for an appropriate price. <br />This park would help fulfill SAV's stated mission "to be a progressive and welcoming <br />Village that is walkable, sustainable and safe." <br />We urge you to give it your full and thoughtful consideration. <br />Thank you! <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />.fDM. <br />4 w\a-it.
