-166- <br /> <br />Phillip Rolfe <br />4869 142"d Lane NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Ramsey City Council <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />February 2, 2001 <br /> <br />Dear Sirs; <br /> <br /> I am writing to oppose the extension of the concrete median on the eastern leg of <br />the intersection of Trunk Highway # 47 and County Road # 116. <br /> <br /> I live in the Rivers Bend subdivision and exit on 142"d Street. I need to turn left <br />to get to work in Anoka. There are many times of day when it is nearly impossible to <br />make a left turn to get out of our subdivision. If everyone using Rivers Bend Plaza that <br />wishes to go left on County Road # 116 was required to drive over to 142nd Street to take <br />a left on Hwy # 47, it would make a bad situation even worse. If the city had put a traffic <br />light at the corner of 142"d Street and Trunk Highway # 47, then this would not be such a <br />problem. However, if the traffic is just moved to a different uncontrolled intersection at <br />142"d Street, you will only succeed in moving traffic accidents aroUnd the corner as <br />frustrated drivers try to squeeze across the intersection. <br /> <br /> I believe there are two appropriate solutions to this problem. One is to put a <br />traffic light at the intersection of 142"d Street and Highway # 47. The second would be to <br />prohibit right turns on red at the intersection of Highways 47 and 116 and Hwy 47 and <br />Nowthen Blvd and set the timing of lights at both controlled intersections so there is a lull <br />in traffic to allow drivers to safely exit the subdivision. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Phillip Rolfe <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />i <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
