The closing ofth/s crossover and cutting offaccess to om: place ofbusiness <br />from the West would be very detrimental to our business. <br /> <br />The closing of the crossing #RP 218.272 would affect approximately one-half of our c-usto~ at <br />preserrt who come from the West (Elk River area and surrounding cornmtmifies), Closing our <br />access would add another 1.2 miles ofckiving for each of our customers coming from the West, <br />This also affects company business trips to and from Elk River. No convenient act, ess from the <br />West would also deter the majority of our impulse drive-by consm fi.om stopping, thereby <br />reducing our sales, which could ukimately force us to close our business. It is a well known fact <br />in Retail Sales that the consumer must have convenient access to your location for your business <br />to suem, eexL <br /> <br />We have numerous serni~trucks delivering pickup toppers, trailers and parts to our business on a <br />regular hahs. Moving their crossover could create more ora safety gazard. For safety l:mrposes, <br />w/th the traffic from the East traveling at 65 to 75+ mph and our customers having 'm slow down <br />in the fight lane to enter our business, we would like to recommend to MN Dot th: addition of a <br />right hand turn lane to our place of business. A right'hand 1ane would make the entrance to our <br />'business tach .safer for our customers and employees. I am surprised that we have had no rear <br />end crashes to dam. <br /> <br />We have used/he State Weigh Station and the crossover as a landmark on how to find our <br />business for the last nineteen years. We are strongly opposed to the closing of tiffs median .,:ross- <br />over ',md would appreciate your reconsideration on the proposed closing of Rg218.272. <br /> <br />PHOIE: ~'[53) 421-6061 <br /> <br />rm kyo q/rX / <br /> <br />RAMSEY, MN 55303 <br />FAX: (763) 421-9124 <br /> <br /> 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
