Per our conversation, on May 25th, you <br />. indicated that you forwarded the picture to the traffic engineer for review. (We took the photo <br />along Snelling Avenue between Grand Ave and Ford Parkway. There are several of these signs <br />in that location.) <br /> <br />We would like to request four of the signs for the intersection of Rosewood Court and Long <br />Lake Road. Each of the "It is the law to stop for pedestrians" could easily be mounted onto <br />the existing four picture pedestrian signs. (there are two signs for each direction) The current <br />picture signs do not state in words what is expected of drivers. We believe the message of "It is <br />the law to stop for pedestrians" will help educate and greatly assist in making this a safe <br />crossing. <br /> <br />The crosswalk signs currently in place have little effect when a pedestrian is present. Traffic <br />rarely stops for the existing picture signs even after pointing to the signs and demonstrating a <br />desire to cross the street. <br /> <br />We are very hopeful that the City of New Brighton can take action on this request before an <br />accident or death occurs. While we understand our request for these added signs will not <br />guarantee complete safety at this intersection, at least drivers will know in words what is <br />expected of them. The safety of our children and community is at stake. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />.Walt and.
