GREATER NEW BRIGHTON BUSINESS ASSOCIATION <br />FROM THE HEART OF THE TWIN CITY AREA <br />NEW BRIGHTON MINNESOTA <br />REGEIVE'D <br />November 9, 1976 NOV G 1976 <br />CITY Of IwE�3 BRIGHTON <br />New Brighton City Council <br />803 - 5th Avenue N.W. <br />New Brighton, Minnesota 55112 <br />Subject: Intersection of 5th Ave. N.W. and 8th Ave. N.W. <br />Gentlemen: <br />We would like to call your attention to the safety hazard that <br />we feel has been created at this intersection by placing the stop <br />sign on 8th Avenue. Due to lack of vision caused by the re- <br />taining wall to the north, there is not enough lead time to com- <br />plete a left hand -turn after stopping. <br />We offer two possible solutions to the above problem: <br />1. Place the existing stop sign on 5th Avenue which <br />would give better vision at the intersection. <br />2, place an additional stop sign on 5th Avenue stopping <br />the traffic going north. <br />A number of our members have had close calls at this intersection <br />simply because of the blind spot created by the retaining wail. <br />While we realize the responsibility for this problem lies with the <br />County, any action by the City of New Brighton Council we are sure <br />would help to eliminate the problem. <br />Very truly yours, <br />NEW BRIGHTON BUSINESS ASSOCIATION <br />Y, — , ;Zy— <br />Larr J. Karlen, President <br />LJK:d <br />
