Ryan Johnson; Michael Scholl; Kevin Johnson <br />follow up to survey on Bunker Lake median <br /> <br />From: <br />Sent: <br />To: <br /> <br />Hello all, Something I didn't put in the survey was the bank's results. We feel our drive up and walk in business <br />is down about 20,-25% since the median, preventing a north turn onto 47 from the bank, was put in last year <br />right before the median was extended on Bunker Lake. Customers can get in here from the north or south, but <br />can't get out to go north, which is a problem for all the businesses we surveyed. <br /> <br />In addition to surveying the businesses, we have discussed these issues with customers of the bank and two <br />thoughts have been prevalent when thinking of safety: <br /> <br />1) the number of U-Turns now made coming north and south on 47 and coming east on Bunker Lake are <br />numerous and this can't be a safe situation. There is a left turn lane on Bunker Lake about a block past Wendy's <br />that now has numerous U-Turns for people going to Wendy's or the other businesses on the south side of <br />Bunker Lake. This is an accident waiting to happen as cars speed east from the Dysprosium stop light. The <br />results of the medians have decreased safety. Several times a week someone jumps the curb by the bank and <br />turns north on 47 out of frustration. <br /> <br />2) To go north on 47 from any of the businesses or the bank, you must go through the residential area NW of the <br />bank to Dysprosium which you take up to Hwy 5 (Nowthen Blvd.) and then east to the stop light on 47 by the <br />Holiday station. This traffic goes the speed limit or better and is heavy at times, In the morning the route takes <br />you past little children waiting for buses, and there is cross traffic moving fast on Dysprosium. It's not good <br />when highway traffic is forced to go through a residential neighborhood. <br /> <br />I hope this additional information helps. <br /> <br />Landmark and all the businesses in the area appreciate the interest you have shown in trying to find a solution. <br />Warm Regards, Ric <br /> <br />Ric Larson <br />Branch President-Ramsey <br />Landmark Community Bank <br />14150 St. Francis Blvd. NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Phone: (763) 444-7727 <br />Fax: (763) 444-7779 <br />rlarson@landmark-bank.net <br />www.landmark-bank.com <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />28 <br />
