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�'.

Dear Commisaioner;Mrs.Rosalie L.Butler;
In answer to your Letter
2-12-71. rega.rding Prelir�inary Order 251544 proposing a. new sidewa.lk
on both sides of Herschel St ,
We a.re the oTrrnera of the four plex on the S.W.Corner oP Hague & HeracY�el
streets.
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.

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�

Re: Sidewalk & :;urb replacement on Herschel
Ave . between Selby 8c Ashland Ave .
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 !

ST. 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.
