3 <br />Silver Lake Road and Interstate 694 <br />St. Anthony <br /> "We need <br />a grocery store <br />in this center <br /> "We need more express bus lines in New Brighton. We <br />used to live in Columbia Heights and my husband could get <br />downtown to his job in 30 minutes on the bus. Had to buy a <br />second car because the buses run so infrequently here <br /> "I think planting pollinators <br />and native plants on the boulevard <br />stretches of grass would be wonderful, <br />or offering grants for groups to “adopt <br />a boulevard” to plant and take care of <br />those stretches (with consistent plant <br />types provided by the city). Also offering <br />grants for families living along SLR to <br />beautify their boulevard strip (same <br />rules with consistent plant types, etc.) <br /> "The building aesthetic standards <br />along this corridor should be improved. <br />Silver Lake is such a high-visibility road. <br />New buildings should use nicer and more <br />durable materials, as the strip mall style <br />looks run down quickly. Stone, brick, or <br />a modern material set instead of siding <br />would improve the aesthetic <br /> "Wong’s is a <br />neighborhood <br />landmark! <br /> "There are many <br />people who live in the <br />neighborhoods off of <br />this area. We need to <br />maintain the safety <br />and suburban setting <br />of the neighborhood <br />when considering <br />plans for the area <br /> "Difficult to turn right onto <br />Southbound Silver Lake Rd here due <br />to poor visibility. Could be improved <br />by cutting back brush or decreasing <br />speed limit. Cars often due U-turns <br />on Silver Lake Rd here despite No <br />U-turn sign, frequently to get to the <br />U-haul <br /> "With health clinic <br />and fitness centers <br />nearby, could we offer <br />a place for pickleball <br />courts. Lights would be <br />a nice addition to play <br />later. Fastest growing <br />sport for all ages <br /> "This gas station is also hard to get out of, just like the one further north on <br />Silver Lake. I’m not sure there’s much to be done now that it’s built, but these <br />corner lots should have their driveways further away from the intersection. <br />Especially for a gas station which is guaranteed to be vehicle traffic
