City of Ramsey <br /> <br />15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · (612) 427-1410 <br /> <br />October 3, 1980 <br /> <br />Mr. Charles Weichselbaum <br />State Highway Engineer <br />Minnesota Department of Transportation District #5 <br />2055 North Lilac Drive <br />'Cmlden Valley, Minnesota 55422 <br /> <br />Dear M~. Weichselbaum: <br /> <br />I'm writing to you in regards to the following two cases that Councilmen <br />Cox and Sorteberg and myself discussed with you briefly after the Regional <br />League of Cities meeting that was held on September 29, 1980, at the Anoka <br />Holiday Inn: <br /> <br /> 1) As we discussed at the meeting we are receiving complaints <br />about the intersection at Highway #10 and Sunfish Lake Blvd. N.W. in regards <br />to the business establishment that is selling firewood there. We are con- <br />cerned about the inadequate egress and ingress to this business place in <br />that they are too close to the intersection of Highway #10 and Sunfish Lake <br />Blvd. <br /> <br />Secondly, it is felt that the stacking of fire wood for sale on their prop- <br />erty line (or Highway #10 road right-of-way) creates another serious problem. <br /> <br />Consequently, the City of Ramsey is requesting that your office check into <br />this and report back to us as soon as possible on %his issue. We have also <br />sent a letter to Mr. Paul Rudd our County Engineer on the same issue as they <br />are equally involved. <br /> <br /> 2) The City of Ramsey would also like to find out what plans <br />the State of Minnesota and Anoka County have in regards to the signalizing <br />of our major thoroughfare entrances onto State Highway #10. We recently had <br />another serious accident at the intersection of State Highway #10 and Ramsey <br />Blvd. N.W. (County Road #56) which involved a young girl in her late teens. <br />According to the Ramsey Police Department, she was seriously injured in this <br />accident. The Ramsey Police Department has informed us that something has <br />to be done to protect lives of citizens traveling Highway #10 and those who <br />have to negotiate an ingress or egress from/to ou~ major thoroughfares that <br />intersect with State Highway #10. <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey would like your reply on this issue as soon as possible. <br />We have also sent a letter to Mr. Paul Rudd our Cotmty Engineer on this same <br />issue as they are equally involved. <br /> <br /> <br />
