April 28, 1987 <br /> <br />Mr. Maurie Anderson, Director <br />New Brighton Parks & Recreation Dept. <br />.1975 Silver Lake Rd. <br />New. Brighton, MN 55112 <br />Subject: 12th Ave. N.W. cul-de-sac at Hanson Park <br />City of New Brighton <br />Dear Mr. Anderson: <br />On April 27, 1987 Y spoke with Mr. Proper concerning various <br />matters with the subject site work. He suggested prior to a <br />signed neighborhood petition we write this letter to you. Z <br />live at 150 - 12th Avenue, but have been selected to voice <br />opinions of many area residents. <br />Rllow me to premise this letter by saying that we understand <br />park land is for public use as designated by city ordinance <br />and.-that not all problems can be corrected by signage or law <br />enforcement. However, we feel that the neighborhood and city <br />well-being can be served by the action recommended by this <br />letter. <br />New home owners purchased homes on 12th Avenue and also on <br />Wedgewood Court assuming construction according to plans dated, <br />May 13, 1986 which would allow 4-6 parking spaces at the end <br />of 12th Avenue. The intention was to allow a small number of <br />parking locations to minimize illegal use of alchohol and <br />chemicals, var~clalism and littering, and direct overflow auto <br />parking to larger areas designated at the northwest side of <br />Hanson Park. <br />We have seen an improvement in these activities since 12th <br />Avenue and Wedgewood Court have been constructed but there is <br />a need to restrict traffic to the .parking stalls because as <br />autos fill up the 4-6 stalls the others park on the cul-de-sac <br />and roadway causing restriction of turn-around capabilities <br />forcing other traffic to use private drives along 12th Avenue <br />in order to turn around and exit. <br />We do not want overflow parking. We ,feel others who use the <br />park can use other parking facilities. The most obvious solu- <br />tion would be to paint the curbs yellow and/or post no parking <br />signs. This should be done in conjunction with current con- <br />struction and enforced by the Police Department. <br />Please respond by letter or phone by May 5, 1987. I can be <br />reached at either 636-3229, my home, or 633-6977, at work. <br />Thank you for your cooperation. <br />S/incerely-y,~ <br />`J <br />Cindy Murlowski <br />Distribution: Les Proper, Chief Engineer <br />Bob Benke, Mayor <br />
