1903 19th Street N. W. <br />New Brighton, MN. 55112 <br />February 28, 1977 <br />Mr. Barry Johnson <br />City Hall <br />City of New Brighton <br />803-5th Avenue N. W. <br />New Brighton, MN. 55112 <br />Dear Sir, <br />I want to r6gister my strong objections to Phase 3 of the HRA proposal <br />for redevelopment of old New Brighton. This is the section where <br />existing business on the west side of Old Highway 8, south of Sixth <br />Street would be removed to make way for multi unit housing. <br />The reasons for my objection are: <br />1. The buildings to be torn down are respectible looking. The ones <br />on the other side of the street are not. <br />2. The costs of buying those businesses and tearing them down cannot <br />be justified because the multi-family units could just as easily <br />be built on the other side of the road with less business disruption. <br />3. I question the impact of bringing new numbers of families into that <br />area considering the impact those children would have on the school <br />census for the area with the closing of Old Mew, Bri ghtton „1. ent ry <br />school next year. <br />To.repeat, it is simply stupid to buy and tear respectible existing business <br />to build something new when that something new can be built across the <br />road. Money can be saved in acquisition of property and destruction of <br />buildings. <br />Yours sincerely, <br />Ronna Ruth Cress <br />Copy to Mayor Bromander <br />
