I <br />! <br /> <br /> I <br /> ! <br /> <br />I <br /> I <br />'1 <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> ! <br /> <br />streets. I think the issues are people are fighting against each other. We are professionals- when <br />the City looks at this, I hope you look at families involved that are related to the situation. <br /> <br />Andries Hillebregt, 16926 Bison Street NW, Ramsey: How many Councilmembers know about <br />the history - the Whole issue of paving Bison Street, 100 percent of the Bison Street residents <br />wanted to get the tOad paved and then it was canceled. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin: There was a petition against it. <br /> <br />Andries Hillebregt, 16926 Bison Street NW, Ramsey: No - there was 100% of the residents in <br />favor of it. It was,another-t' development that brought in a petition against it. People can only take <br />things so long. People are getting fed up with it. I am worried about someone shooting someone. <br />This person (Dusbabek) is erratic. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder: Are there any other solutions that have not been mentioned yet? <br /> <br />Resident: The core is speed and safety; the solution is in bringing the community together. <br />Closing a road separates the community. <br /> <br />Larry Sanders, 17135 Bison Street NW, Ramsey: Six years ago I told Council to put in stop signs <br />on 171st. Three stop signs would end this whole thing. <br /> <br />Jim Huber, 17061 ',Bison Street NW, Ramsey: If you put a stop sign at the west end and at the east <br />end in front of Tim's, that would take care of the problem on 171st Avenue. If Tim persists to <br />have the street turhed into a bikeway, we intend to sue the City to claim that property and I pay <br />assessments on that road and I would like to have a rebate on that. <br /> <br />Tony Keyser, ~6967 Bison Street NW, Ramsey: Speed and traffic is the problem - put in speed <br />bumps and stop signs. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder: city Council told us to put up temporary barricades and they will stay up until City <br />Council says otherwise. Councilmember Beahen said we need your assistance - one is to keep the <br />barricade up. We have to send someone over every day to put it back up. The intent is temporary <br /> to study the results. City Council will receive the information presented tonight - staff will <br />itemize it and get it to them at the earliest possibility. Do you want to have another meeting? <br /> <br />Andries Hillebregt, 16926 Bison Sn:eet NW, Ramsey: This is a democracy. I pay taxes on that <br />road. Most of the ]people, since Bison has been paved, do not go through that neighborhood. This <br />has turned out to be a playground for kids. <br /> <br />John Anderley, 16917 Bison Street NW, Ramsey: The City is concerned about safety - how can <br />the City Council close 171st without knowing the history. We did not have a vote in this. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder: We heard tonight that we have made a rash decision. <br /> <br />John Anderley, 16917 Bison Street NW, Ramsey: You (City Council) have caused more to divide <br />a neighborhood. <br /> <br />Resident: Take it down and start it from the beginning and see what the support is. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin: CitY Council has got an idea of how many want it open and how many want it <br />closed. This issue will be put on the City Council agenda for reconsideration so City Council can <br />deal with it again. We will talk one more time about this at the Council table. <br /> <br />Bison/171 st Neighborhood Meeting/September 11, 1996 <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
