Staff viewed the intersection for sight distance from all four approaches and it was <br />determined that the sight distances are no poorer at this intersection than any randomly <br />chosen intersection in the sewer and water district which have similar structure setbacks. <br /> <br />Shelly Peterson, 6140 - 144th Lane NW, Ramsey, stated that she made the request <br />because speed is a big factor, even the busses speed. <br /> <br />Joshua Kaeppe, 6180 - 144th Lane NW, Ramsey, stated that he has two small children <br />and he is concerned with the way people "fly" down that road because it's a straight a <br />way. The amount of traffic is also a concern. He felt that it's up to the elected officials <br />to listen to what the people who elected them instead of just listening to the City <br />Engineer's reports. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/December 15,1998 <br />Page 1 of5 <br />
