April 7, 1971 To the City Council: We oppose Preliminary Order 252420 which proposes to constru�t new sidewalk on the south side of Larry Ho Drive f rom Ruth Street 1_ to Glinthrop Street for the following reasons. l. Present pedestrian traffic density on Larry Ho Drive does not justify sidewalk construction; nor with only two single f amily zoned lots per block on Larry Ho Drive, will sufficient pedes- trian traff ic be generated in the forseeable future . 2. To the extent that pedestrian traffic may occur on Larry Ho Drive, it can better be served by a sidewalk on the north side of the Drive ; pedestrians on the north side of the Drive would not ha.ve to cross intersecting streets and could take advantage of the contiguous, scenic Battle Creek Park. 3. The present residents of the affected segment of I�arry Ho Drive are generally opposed to the proposed construction of sidewalk. 4. Adequate sidewalks exist on all intersecting streets in the affected area, so that no house, present or f uture, on Larry Ho Drive is without sidewalk access. We hereby request the Clerk of the City Council to read this letter of objection to Preliminary Order 252420 at the public hearing on said order, scheduled f or 10:00 a. m. , on April 9, 1971. ������.�2���G��� ��...� /�- � MelvilTe R.

PAU4 MINNESOTA SS1G1 (612) 227-6661 March 22, 1971 Commissioner Rosalie L. Butler Department of Finance 113 Court House Building St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 Re: File S9318 PAGE 1 Dear Mrs. Butler: I received your "notice" advising me of a hearing on. April 9,1971, concerning the construction of a sidewalk on the south side of Larry Ho from Ruth to Winthrop. At present, it appears as if my schedule will not permit me to be present at the hearing; however, I am very interested and have been in communication with Commissioners Tedesco and Carlson on the matter. Copies of that correspondence is enclosed. I thought that yourrecent comment to suspend the construction of new sidewalk this season for the reasons that you indicated were realistic and timely. The prime reason for the need of a sidewalk in the area is due to the new Junior High SchooL. The present proposal is that sidewalk be constructed on the south side which is the side on which homes are located. My question continues to be that it would make more sense to put a sidewalk or "walking path" on the north side. The north side is, I believe, County' property and no homes are located on that side. A diagram is enclosed for your convenience. The boulevard on the north side is covered with weeds and dirt; whereas , the boulevard on the south is meandering, maintained lawns. A sidewalk on the s�� side would be another strip of destructive concrete . It' s obvious that students will "drift" down the street area as they have to cross to the north to get to a contemplated foot bridge. This will be dangerous and my proposed sidewalk as outlined would curtail this probability. My proposed � ' ' ' Page 'Itao March 22,1971 sidewalk would also be a step toward making Battle Creek Park, a reality. Commissioner Tedesco advises that there are no plans to put a sidewalk along North Park street but this is a "must" as the mud in that area during the recent thaw was ankle deep. This should be a joint city-county matter. Thank you for reading my comments. � Yours very truly � � � Roger R.

Lenzmeier 780 NW Natio�fal Bank Bldg. 55 E. 5th St. St. Paul , Minnesota 55101 Dear Mr. Lenzmeier: - Commissioner Tedesco has referred your letter to me regarding the plan for constructing a sidewalk on the south side of Larry Ho Drive. It is the long-range plan of the city to construct sidewalk in all areas of the city which do not now have them. It is partly . necessary because of the danger in forcing children to walk in the streets on their way to and f�om school . The city could be held liable for injuries to children in the street if we do not provide sidewalk. This is one of the reasons why we will probably - have to construct a sidewalk in the area where you live. . Very truly yours, , , /"' , 1 � � ��-/�,� . _- �,��' ` � Will arn E.

If sidewalk must be installed without petitian of the pro— perty •wners, I we+uld rec�mraend it be inst�.11ed on the N�rth side �f the street for the follewin� reasans: 1. School children iiould not ha�.ve te crmss intersections �t every street. 2. The Nerth side wmuld afford pe�ple walking a better view of the park. 3. It wmul� improve the appearAnce �f the park. At present,weeds and. dirt dominatti� th�; area in the imr��diate vicinity �f the curb. 4. It would fit in with the future plans fer a bridge across the park a.re�.. 5.

Very truly vour9, ,..�_ � (�-c� (�� . � � � r � Z� 3 � _ April 7, 1971 St. Paul, Minnesota City Councilmen: I would like to express my coneern and opposition to the proposed construction of side�walk on the south side of Larry Ho Dr3ve as set forth in Preliminary 0rder 252420. I fully appreciate the necessity oP a sidewalk where need actually exista and have installed sidewalk on the Ruth Street Side of my lot locally lmawn as 2026 Larry Ho Drive at the time of purchase in October, 1970. One of the factors inPluencing r,r�y choice o� this lot was that pedestrian traffic on the Larry Ho frontage was minimal--in fact with the exception of the paper boy all ped.eatr3an traft'ic currently uses the north side of Larry Ho Drive. 7�is can be readily veri�'ied by visual inspection since a psth is Worn by the traffic on the north side of the street. Construction oF a sidewalk on the north side of the street woul.d meet the need expressed by the present tra�'fic, be more beneficial in view of the future opening of Dattle Creek Junior High School, provide a means of en�oyment of the beauty of Eattle Creek Park to those walking, and continue the privacy currently en�oyed by residents oP homes located on the south side of Larry Ho Drive. Since this proposed improvement was initiated. by the Departmen� of Public Works and not by affected property vwners and in vie�w oF the lack of present pedestrian traffic to ,justii'� this pro3ect, I request that it be re�ected.
