Petition in support of a walking/biking path and a community gathering <br />space/park on the triangular lot at2701 Kenzie Terrace <br />To the Mayor and City Councilof St. Anthony Mllage: <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 lat al27A1 Kenzie Terrace. <br />Why a walking/biking path in this location? <br />1. Consistent with the St. Anthony mission to be 'lvalkable", 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 />2. The general community in the nearby area needs the benefits of an outdoor space for <br />recreation and gathering. <br />3. Despite annual taxes of $1.6 M paid by these residents, there is no public park in the <br />south St. Anthony (SOSA) neighborhood bounded by Stinson, Kenzie Terrace, and St <br />Anthony Boulevard. <br />4. 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 />5. This park would help fulfill SAVs 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 />ts'- -21 <br />8-3'r-t : - f <br />1 r,'r <br />i.1, <br />Name Address email <br />, \\\ ^o\xq,r[*\crft,h,?,Li i ilrrr: i,n,( *t+11,t, <br />l)trutqs irU crt'o*b' <br />L;\,W 6odj Abc r l<t,L,e( -ir ho*l>y51e.{ *} {.,8 <br />€ci.^h fu\Q,'g tt tt tt{ggt 'bqo++ry',ntlfi- <br />-t\a cru Lea ) nn b>ol { nnL : <br />{**tt il,At.t A*,t#nzphn%t4'v <br />Page 1
