(~ 9421 Highway 10 NW, Ramsey <br /> Propost~l Media~ Clom.tre #RP 218.272 <br /> <br />Instantop Ira:. is d small bus/ness located approximately 100 feet NW from proposed med_iart <br />cross-over closing. The closing oft. his cro~oVer and cutting offaccess to our place ofbtminess <br />from the West would be very del:dmental to our business. <br /> <br />The closing of the crossing #RP 218.272 would affect approximately one-half of our cmsto~ at <br />present who come from the West (Elk River area and surroundir~g commtmit/es), Closing our <br />access would add anothe~ 1.2 miles of driving for each of our customers coming from tJae West, <br />This also afters company business trips to arrl from Elk P, dver. No eon~aient access fi~m the <br />West would also deter the majority of our hiipulse drive-by consm fi.om stopping, .tlaemby <br />reducing our sales, which could ukimately force us to close our business. It is a well known ~-t <br />in Retail Sales that the consumer must have convenient access to your k>calion for your business <br /> <br />We l~ave numerous semMrucks cteliverk~ ~ Pickup toPPers, trailers and parts to our lmsiae~ on a <br />regular l:mis. Moving t~ir crossover could'create mom of a safety hazard. For safe~ purpose, <br />with the traffic from the Eas~ traveling at 65 .to 75+ mph and our'customers having to sloTM down <br />in t~ r/ght lane to enter our business, we would/ike to recommend to MN Dot tl~ additkm ora <br />right hand turn lane tO our t~hee of business. A right'hand lane would make the eatmn~ to om- <br />'business nmch safer for our customers and emPloyees. I am surprised that we bare had no rear <br />er~ ~ to date. . ' <br /> <br />We have used the Stole Weigh Station and the crossoVer as a landmark on how to f:md our <br />business for the last nineteen years. We are strongly opposed to the closing of this ~ cross~ <br />over and would appreciate your reconsideration on the proposed closing of RP2id,272. <br /> <br />H~GHWAY ~r3 N.W.
