Mr. Robert Peterson � �� f� . � , � _ Commissioner o� Public Works , , • �� L (� �� , �� , � Dear Mr. Peterson: , • �f _ , ! . � � I would like to call your attention to several pertinent � � facts that I believe are sufficient to warrant installation � i of sidewalks in the entire Area east of Zake Phalen and south ' � , of Larpenteur Avenue. . � � - ' I live. at 1581 Chamber Street and have for the past 12 9ears. � ' The off-a�ain-on-again sidewalk construction constitutes a . •_; • safety hazard to adult as well as child pedestrian traffi,c . � In winter i,re must walk in the street as the areas without . ' . sidewalks shovel no pathway. In rainy weather(no pun inten- , � ded) , it ' s the same story, walk through the wet grass or , . walk in the streeto In the summer months the heavy picnic � •� traffic at Phalen �,overflows into this neighborhood and the � • ' ! streets become so narrow that only one car can navigate and ' � you know where that leaves the pedestrian.,�� : .; . . � This area has an unusually hi�h concentration of children-- , . � over ']S on the single block in tiahich I live and the street , � immediately behind m•e. It is the same story all over tbis , ' � neighborhood. . • • . . I � . � , : Pedestrian students to four schools use these streets,of - necessity ,every day of the school year--Frost Zake, Presen- . � - tation, Hazel Park Jr. Hi�h, and Johnson Sr. High _ � • A recent City Council order widening Larpenteur Avenue--to '. J �• ' handle more traffic will only increase the pedestrian riske ' �E Over the past three years the Cit� Council has also seen fit � , ' to rezone English Street--ove� neighborhood objection--to ' � permit apartment construction which will further saturate � � � the ar�ea with auto traffic . . . � � . Based on tbe 'above i�formation I believe sidewalks in this • ' � , area are a must, in fact �trhey are 12 y�ars overc�ue. , 1 . . , . , . . � � . . � ' . ' Sincerely 9ours, � , - i - .

BYRNE� MAYOR '` �C r CITY OF ST. PAUL �� CITY HALL 8c COURT HOUSE �U� � � ��D 1 $T. PAUL� �INNESOTA 55�oz Mq Y 1968 DEAR MAYOR BYRNE: OR,S OF��CF ENCLOSED (S A PETITION OF CHAMBER STREET RESIDENTS FAVORING THE PROPOSED SIDE— � WALK INSTA�LATION BETWEEN HOYT AND (DAHO WHICH I FIRST REQUESTED IN MY LETTER OF JAN@JARY i967 TO COMMISSIONER ROBERT PETERSON. � AS THIS IS THE PORTION OF CHAMBER STREE`� WITH WHICH I AM MOST INTERESTED IN FOR REASONS PREVIOUSLY EXPRESSED� I HAVE CONFINED MY PETITION TO THIS AREA. THE SUPPORT FOR SIDE4IALKS AS EXPRESSED IN THIS PETITION IS� I BELIEVE� ALSO REPRE— SENTATIVE OF THE FEELINGS OF RESIDENTS ON ATLANTIC AND DULUTH STREETS WHERE� I . UNOERSTANO� SIDEWALK IS ALSO PROPOSED AND WHICH WILL BE CONSIDERED AT THE SAME TIME AS CHAMBER STREET. THE ONLY ARGUMENT AGAINST SIDEWALK� AS NEAR AS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE� IS THAT IT WILL COST THEM MONEY — MONEY WHICH� INCiDENTALLY� THE MAJORITY OF RESIOENTS HAVE ALREADY EXPENDED — OR THOSE WITHOUT CHILDREN WHO DO NOT WANT CHILDREN PLAYING IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE �ONE MUST CONCLUDE FROM THIS THEY PREFER TO SEE THEM PLAY IN THE STREET�. THESE PEOPL.E I AM SURE DO NOT WALK IN THE STREET WHE(d SIDEWALK IS AVAILABLE� AND I DOUBT IF THEY WOULD RELISH A TWO BLOCK WALK TO THE MAILBOX TO GET THEIR MAIL AND NEWSPAPER� YET THEY EXPECT THOSE DELIVERIES UNDER UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS. I AGAIN URGE THE COUNCIL TO INCLUDE IN THESE WORK ORDERS THE EAST—WEST STREETS BETWEEN EAST SHORE DRIVE AND ENGLISH BOUNDED BY LARPENTER AND ARLINGTON. THIS WAS REQUESTEO MANY TIMES ON MY ROUNDS WITH THE PETITION. THESE EAST—WEST STREETS ARE THE KEY TO EASY AND SAFE ACCESSABiLITY TO THE BUS LINE ON ENGLISH AND THE ENJOYMENT OF THE PARK AND LAKE PHALEN. THE BUS IS USED� AS THE MAYOR AND COUNCILMEN WELL KNOW� BY THOSE ELDERLY CITIZENS MOST (N NEED OF SIDEWALK. I PERSONALLY KNOW OF ONE ELDERLY LADY OF SOME SO YEARS �MRS. BENJAMIN JOHNSON OF 15C7 ATIANTIC� THAT USES THE BUS TWO TO FOUR TIMES A WEEK TO VISIT A SHUT—IN FRIEND. IN ADDITION TO THE ELDERLY� THERE ARE MANY WORKING PEOPLE AND STUDENTS DEPENOENT UPON BUS TRANSPORTATION. OF WHAT POINT IS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IF IT IS NOT EASILY ACCESSABLE? IT IS NOT VERY CONVENIENT TO WALK SEVERAL BLOCKS THRU DEEP AND RUTTED SNOW 'IN THE WINTERTIME — TO SAY NOTHING OF THE SPRING THAW: THIS IS NOT A DEVELOPING NEIGHBORHOOD AS MOST HOMES HAVE BEEN HERE TEN YEARS. (T IS OBVIOUS THESE PEOPLE WITHOUT SIDEWALK WILL NOT VOLUNTARILY INSTALL IT� BUT WILL CONFORM TO THE MAJORITY ONLY BY DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL. VOTE ��YES��. SINCERELY� � � �'�� . R.S. AL QUI T �/K� . . < � . _ ° � �'� City Council City of St. Paul _ St. Paul, Minnesota We, the undersigned, petition the Council to vote in favor of the proposed sidewalk installatiori on the East side of Chamber street between Hoyt axid Idahowhich is to be heard and voted upon July 10 as a safety measure for the children attending Frost Lake Elementary School, as well as others having . occasion to walk in this area.: NAME ADDRFSS . �� , �.� --� /.r 3 8 ��f.,.. !� .�s C�_ z�(_ ��.�y e�� ,� . , c��y�C� ,�"�� G�Q�-�.�. �i�.. /c'. ,� •C��.
