Mr. Jankowski <br />City of Ramsay <br /> <br />July 2, 1909 <br /> <br /> Dear Mr. Jankowski: <br />As per our conversation on July 2, 1999 we are requesting a stop sign be put iT <br />for the corner of 141st and Uranium. The excess speed around this comer is <br />increasing over the four years we have lived here. This is a very busy street ~, it~ <br />kids dding bikes, rollerblading, walking to the store, park, and fdend's houses. <br />The ages of the children are anywhere from new born to 17 (majority is 2-7 yrs <br />old--there are ! believe 24 children on these two blocks alone not to include th~ <br />children that come from Vanadium/town houses to play that adds another 15 <br />children, plus the daycare). The bigger problem is in this area VS the other <br />areas you have already added ~he stop signs to is- this comer has a blind spot <br />coming from both ways. VVhen curving the corner there would be no way for a <br />motorist to stop for a child simply looking and crossing the road. If you survey~)d <br />this neighborhood it is by far the busiest with children in the area. There are two <br />daycare's one off 141*t and the other one being the second house on Uranium <br />have noticed you have added several though out the area which I applaud you <br />on but when I have been in these added area's I never see any children nor dc t <br />find it traveled as much as our corner- they seem to be very quiet and commor <br />sense stop area's. We have three issues for needing a stop sign immediately <br />one to keep our children safe, two the excessive speed, and three the blind sp()~ <br />this corner has. These issues need to be addresses and controlled and we feE.I <br />this would work best. <br />I did speak to someone at city hall and requested a stop sign over a year ago <br />and they mentioned they did not work that people roll through them. if a motor st <br />roll's through them that is breaking the law and they can be dealt with -but even <br />then their speed would be drastically reduced. We are also getting a lot of teer~ <br />drivers through the area and I believe they do not fully understand the <br />consequences their speed can cause. We have had several dose calls and ore <br />being yesterday which in turn prompted me to call you again. Just to note this s <br />also where the bus stops for students this would not be an added hassle for thn <br />bus drivers. <br />I feel we pay taxes and if this is what our neighborhood wants and feels'we ne(~c~ <br />that by living here and seeing what happens everyday we are the best judges c f <br />this. We would really appreciate a stop sign on 141~ and Uranium, your attentio.q <br />to this matter is greatly appreciated to us. <br /> <br />I also had one other concern: Wolferman, 141~t and the new townhouse entran.;~ <br />no one knows who has the right away their should be a yield or stop sign comir.,~ <br />out of the townhouses. That is a 3 way with no real direction on such a busy <br />entrance to a neighborhood that many people use. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Mr. and Mm.Alexander <br /> <br />-7 <br /> <br /> <br />
