Unless you recognize <br />the sender and know the content, DO NOT click any links or open attachments.. <br />Hi Chris, <br />We have reviewed the proposed residential development on CR 64 (181st Avenue). It is a County <br />standard to consolidate access onto County Roads so this proposal is extremely undesirable from a <br />County perspective. Adding 13 driveways this close together onto a 55mph road can create safety <br />hazards that wouldn't arise if these were to come off a City Street instead. We believe a T-shaped <br />cul-de-sac could capture the western 9ish lots with small wetland impacts. Additionally, these <br />parcels are located on a vertical curve where site distance cannot be met for every proposed <br />driveway. This creates potential hazards for vehicles turning into and out of their driveways. Adding <br />this many access points this close together will create many conflict points along this stretch with <br />turning vehicles being at risk of rear end crashes. We have also received many complaints regarding <br />passing vehicles creating a hazard for vehicles turning out of driveways. They are not expecting <br />vehicles to be traveling in both lanes in the same direction and almost turn onto the County Road <br />potentially causing a crash. <br />With all of these concerns noted above, we would like to see this proposed development redone to <br />significantly reduce the number of access points being added to the County Road. <br />Let me know if you have any questions. <br />Logan Keehr, PE <br />Traffic Engineer II <br />Anoka County Transportation Division <br />Highway-Transit-Fleet-Surveyor-GIS <br />1440 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW <br />Andover, MN 55304 <br />Office: 763-324-3100 <br />Direct: 763-324-3183 <br />Fax: 763-324-3020 <br />0(A passi,Co, is �C(Ay safe vlaViov el <br />
