From: <br />To: Ramsey Planning <br />Subject: Bowers Drive Connection Survey <br />Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2020 4:42:53 PM <br />Tim Gladhill, I received your letter asking for input regarding the Capstone project. <br />My major question is safety for Bowers Drive. Our road has a lot of curves and <br />limited visibility when leaving many driveways. My hope was that there would be <br />another entry/exit from Bowers to the east. That would decrease traffic as there <br />would be two ways to enter or exit Bowers. In looking at your concept plan I see a <br />new trail and what appears to be a trail and emergency vehicle road with gate. That <br />would only increase foot traffic but not help the traffic we experience. I have <br />heard there is second option being considered with the east trail/limited vehicle plan <br />to allow full car traffic. <br />I would not be in favor of the version that appears in your letter. I would <br />consider Bowers far more safe with two real entry/exits than the limited emergency <br />option. I am not concerned about the very rare case where emergency vehicles need <br />an additional entry vs the traffic we have every day. <br />Thanks, Bert Horton <br />14510 Bowers Drive NW <br />Ramsey, MN., 55303 <br />
