Jane Rose suggested that perhaps a Speed Zone Study could be done. I live <br />at 6165 Green Valley Rd and like to take walks with my dog on the road, but there is barely a <br />shoulder. It's also scary when just going out to mailbox to collect the mail. The road is in very <br />bad condition and, although I understand it's going to be "reclaimed" this coming summer, <br />there are many heavy trucks, including from the nearby Green Valley Nursery, that use the road <br />-- I would think that that truck traffic is part of the reason for the road being in such poor <br />condition. <br />There are also a couple of sharp curves on this road and if horses, donkeys, dogs, cats or other <br />animals should make it onto the road, there is danger of them and/or drivers being injured. <br />I see many bicyclists kids walking on that road, too, and one can "feel the wind" when <br />cars/trucks go by. I hope something can be done about the speed limit on this short road <br />(about a mile long between Hwy 47 and Hwy 5) and that, also, perhaps a wider shoulder and/or <br />bike path could be created at the time of reclaiming. <br />Thanks for your time and for considering these concerns. <br />Pam Thinesen <br />pamthinesenPmsn.com <br />651-779-3476 <br />6165 Green Valley Rd <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />
