Storage Project in New Brighton. <br /> At present we have our existing sign along i-35W consisting <br /> of the main lighted name panel and a small telephone panel <br /> below that. This sign together with the telephone panel has <br /> been a tremendous help in making our project a success to <br /> date. In ,addition, ~~eeveral of our office tennents have in- <br /> stalled small wall signs that are well within the ordinance <br /> Hite limitation. These hav® been most helpful in identifying <br /> who occupies which office to anybody visiting the complex. <br /> We still have th© one lingering problem, however, that <br /> still remains unsolved, and that: is along Fifth Street which <br /> is our main entrance. Because the property is so largetl3 acres)... <br /> and the I-35W sign so far removed from Fifth Street, we and <br /> particularly our office tennents continue to h~.ve,a problem <br /> after-traffic leaves the Interstate .Highway and enters onto_ <br /> Cauntg Road E2. Our private access road is so long that it <br /> gives the appearance of Third Avenue extended. Any of our - <br /> customers enter the road not really sure if they have the <br /> correct drive or not, and eventually reach our office. _ <br /> Equally bad or worse are the many drivers who enter our <br /> road. thinking it is an extension of Third Avenue. In so doing! <br /> they travel at a much higher rate of speed than the road fe <br /> deai~ned For in spite of a 15 mph. speed sign. This is part- <br /> icularly true when they realize their mistake and .leave <br /> angrily and/or delayed for an appointment. Even worse are ' <br /> those 'rho realize before reaching the <br />end of the drive and <br /> . <br />spin:_their ear. around on-.the lawn in order to return to Fi#'th <br /> 9treat. <br /> From an of~'ice visitors`point of view, it is the worst <br /> because their Customerndo not connect E-Z Mini Storage with <br />
