Re: Sidewalk & curb replacement �n Herschel between Selby & Ashland Avenue. Dear Mrs . Butler , We are the home owners at 172�� Ashland �corner of Herschel & Ashland� and have very obvious reasons why we feel these sidewalks do not need re lacement at this time ! 1 . We feel that any attempt to improve the sidewalks on Herschel would only be a waste of your time and our money . As it is necessary to park cars on at least 2 feet of the 4 foot existing sidewalk to permit another car to pass between. To restrict parking on this street would only create another problem, as we have 5 apartment buildings , bordering Herschel , that do not have adequate parking facilities other than tlae street. 2 . We never see our sidewalk in the win�er because the snow plows must have some place to put the snow from the street. 3 . I,ast, but not least, just how much money do you people think we have? We just received our notice of our real estate taxes, and they have increased �275 . or 1?3yb for not improving an�athing . If your interested in improving anything , try improving the morale of the homeowners bordering Herschel from Selby to Ashland! Thank you�'. Sinc erely , : �' U� ' �� � � ��� �'.�c.2 �-� .

L�st year we contracted and did repl�.ce all of the broken blocka both front a.nd side. The street on Herschel is about 30 ft .wide there is room for pa.rking on one side,with room for cars to pase. All winter and most of the summer pe�ple wa.lking on tha.t street dont use the sidewalk at all,there is no Blvd.and when �they blow the St . they cover the sidewalk. We would be much better off with no side��a.lk at all tre street would be much safer. Z�Te have had this building at 1728 Hague Ave scence 1929.TrTe do not condone with the order in anyway sha.p or form. As you know Herschel St,was condemend many yea.rs ago a.nd we own 100 ft . of the westside Prom Hague to our double garage in the south end. ,,�Igo B `+ Tradera,Inc. _:r � � � --=�r�s.

T`he project in question is a Public Works program and I am sending a copy of your letter to that DePartment to register your opposition.

Butler Commissioner of Finance St. Paul, Minnesata, 55102 Dear P�Irs. Butler: 6�e feel there is no need for a new sidewalk �n< :� Herschel from Ashland to Selby. The streets are now too narrow to drive on. Meeting cars is virtually impossible. 'uVith the addition of a 5 or 6 foot sidewalk, traffic flow would be hindered even more. During the winter months, because the streets are so narrow, the snowplow has to push the snow over existing sidewalks, to make room for the cars to drive. We also feel that with the new tax structure, a new sidewalk would be too much of a financial burden for us at this time. Respectively Yours, ���L� � Vi� Harold and orraine Olso� 172y.

We the undersigned, as one of twelve property owners bordering Herschel Ave . between Selby and Ashland Ave . , wish to advise the St. Paul City �ouncil that it is against our wishes to h�ve any improvements undertaken on our sidewalks or curbing at this time . This would only create more problems , due to the fact Herschel is only 3�'? ft. wide �property line to property line ,� . Limiting parking would only create a greater problem as 5 apartment buildings bordering Herschel do not have any adec�uate parking of there own other than the street . The sriow plows must use the sidewalks in the winter to �ut the sncw from the street, itie feel that this proposed improvement would be a waste of your time and our money a.nd no benefit to the property owner ! __ . , ��9 a��� �. � � yy-o0 9� �� , � � �v�z / ��/� � ! 7 a � / � a � � � � `�� - � � � d � 7 � � ���-� a. � �.� ��� - � � 7 � � l `1 � �5�� IGO BROS.

PAUL 4, MINNESOTA February �j., 1971 Mrs. ftosalie B�t1sr Department oY Finance Cit� of St. Paul In response to y�our letter of Feb. l�th, we are opposed to the recor�struction of the sidewalks and curbs on Herschel from Ashland to Selby� for the follo�ring reasons: 1. g !t'-� ft. j�alk on each side would leave only 21ft. of street, as this street area is only 30 ft. xide from property line to property line. 2. There are no bonl.evards on r�hich �now can be deposited when the streets are ploWed in the winter. The sno�r is plowed onto the wa1k� now to a11ow roo�n for traffic. What little pedestrian traffic there is uses the streat as there i� no alternative in the winter. However, we have noticed that pedestrians use the street in the s�er as well. 3. New walks were constructed in front of our propertg in the su�ner of 1970. With new sid�walks on the side street a.nd wi.th the nex tax struct�re it will plaee a laxge burden financially upon ovrselves, �s �rell as the other neighborhood property owners. c_��'� ° !.��.O �.�=1��/t/�, � , �-� �'-� � _.,�'�� �� z G� �'�°`�-`��`�� >�-� ,������ � ��� � �� ������J c�'� �� .�/—e. � , l��e, �� � ` e��"�-�°O �° � � �.���. -�� ��-�. �� ��-�� �� / � `��c� � . �� �� ��� .������ . `� �`��' ��� ��� � ���� � � �� e� , �:��� -� �a� � � � .Qi� ,Q—� .�-� �� `� " _"`"' ,��-�.G� �o .���� ��� ��sG� i�7C�� ���� �C-Q-�i �y,� �-� ' � , ",� tio.;n� . % � , �� ", �-�'��ciG�-C����i� C�,c,�l��G ��� ,�;=�C�(e -ty2av� ��%�2�✓ o . � G�%�� u�-�-� � , . �C�-�,��� C�-v �, G�-e- c�� , ���� �--z� .��-c�.� ��z�� �-c�'-���'�o .
