accidents with casualties and possible fatalities because these children have never had to <br />deal with so much traffic and there will be traffic if you open up the dead end. People <br />will use it as a short cut to get to other areas rather than going around. <br />I propose using the street directly behind 1 52❑d Lane as an access road. There is a <br />fraction of the homes that would be disturbed as well as a fraction of the children. The <br />street I realize is currently not paved, but I would think the City will, sometime in the <br />future, ultimately pave this road and connect it to the.area. Please see the attached aerial <br />view which shows our development, the proposed development and the road directly <br />behind my development. It would greatly impact our development to have a through <br />street and I am willing to do anything to keep it as a dead end or to have it cul-de-sac. <br />This is very important to our neighborhood and am willing to bring in the whole I . <br />neighborhood if that is what it will take to keep the access closed. I am very worried our <br />children will end up being hit by cars, having multiple law suits fled, and ultimately, in <br />the long run costing the city more money. <br />Again, Please consider access at a different point other than our nice little development. <br />If you access this area, what you are doing is putting our children at risk of being hit by <br />cars, unruly teenagers using it as a short cut, people speeding through our development <br />and I'm worried my neighbors will start moving out of their homes. So far there have <br />been two properties for sale in our development because of the concerns of the <br />40 development next to ours. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration to this very important issue at hand. Please <br />know I am willing to do what it takes to keep this street closed. I do not see any reason to <br />access this street for easy access to future homes nor for emergency concerns. For the <br />past seven years, there has been one inlet/outlet and there has never been a concern. I <br />hope that you can understand my distress and will look at other alternates for access to <br />the Meadows development. <br />Thank you again. <br />Nikki O'Connell <br />Resident of City of Ramsey <br />n <br />—253— <br />
