Members of the City Council and Mayor Vavoulis St. Paul, Minnesota Gentlemen: t 7, 1962 I would like to respectfully present my views concerning increasing thelload limit on Lexington Parkway from 10,000 to 30,000 pounds gross. I feel that the pro- posed changes in the load limit are ill advised and ask that'you resist their adoption for the following reasons: 1. If St. Paul is to maintain its fine reputation as a city of beautiful streets, parks, churches and schools, its council and mayor must be constantly alert to ward off any attempts to erode the physical foundation upon which such a reputation is built. Once an entering wedge is inserted into'such a foundation, an entire collapse re- sults. This is precisely what will happen if, in the name of traffic convenience and necessity, the parkways of St. Paul are downgraded by the lifting of existing load limits. I urge you to consider the problem in its broadest community context and not only in the narrow sphere of traffic engineering. Qw 2. The corner of Summit and Lexington is a typical example - of- church architecture at its finest. To permit 6 �__ Members of the City Council and Mayor Vavoulis - 2 - August 7, 1962 a virtually solid wall of trucks to violate this scene is to concede everything to commercial interests, an action that certainly cannot be warranted under present circumz stances. In addition, there is an abundance of schools at or near'Lexington that will be adversely affected by such a ruling. St. Lukes, for example, and Central High School are teeming with students many of whom cross Lex- ington ?kikway during the day. And Summit School on Goodrich is only a block west of Lexington while Linwood Park School lies a mere two blocks east of Lexington on Osceola. The cross traffic of students in these areas should be carefully considered before a decision is reached. The homes that have been built up along Lex- ington Parkway speak in the clearest of terms for the perpetuation of the parkway as a Parkway. Turning Lexington into a truck route can only result in its deterioration; and the logical extension of such pre- cipitous action would be to open up Summit Avenue, Miss- issippi Boulevard, Edgecumbe Boulevard and similar ave- nues of grace and beauty to the trucking interests. I strongly believe that such a trend should be stopped before it has a chance to get started. 3. As for enforcing the current limit of 10,000 pounds, I would suggest that larger signs be posted at the entrances to Lexington and other parkways to make sure that the regulation is observed. The present signs are too small and are not located as effectively as they might be. I would therefore earnestly ask that the pre- sent load limit of 10,000 pounds be continued with en- forcement measures being strengthened by providing Members of the City Council and Mayor Vavoulis - 3 - August 7, 1962 larger and easier to read signs appropriately located for maximum effectiveness.

I am a resident of St. Paul and reside on Earl Street. In talking with my neighbors and other residents several blocks in each direction, I find that they too are very much opposed to any such action. At the same time, none of us can conceive that you would even consider such a proposal for the following reasons: 1. Earl Street is a 95% residential street. 2. Earl Streetbegins or ends at the entrance to Mounds Park and begins or ends at the main entrance to Phalen Park, two of the cities finest parks. 3. Hundreds of children use this street, particularly during the summer months enroute to the Parks and to and from Phalen Beach. 4. Many parents use this street in transporting their children to the beach and parks because of the convenience in entering the parks. 5. Large numbers of scp(ool children must cross Earl Street daily during the school year to- attend such schools as Harrison, St. Casimirs, Harding, St. John's, Sacred Heart, Sibley and for recreational purposes at the Margaret St. Playground. Many senior citizens must also cross the street for activities at the Margaret Street Playground, 6. Earl Street is already a very heavily traveled residential street. It is not wide enough to accommodate trucks and the hills increase the hazards. Pdittrian hazards are already increased over the past two years because of the expansion of Minnesota Mining and the fact that Forest Street was closed for such a long period of time during the paving. Detween thehours of 7 to 8 AM and 4:30 to 6 PM weekdays, there is frequently a five to ten minute wait in many areas before it is'safe to cross the street. I am cognizant of this, situation since) must cross the street each morning -ana evening myself in going to and from work. r TO: THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS OF THE CITY OF ST. PAUL INTER - OFFICE COMMUNICATION Eugene V. Avery Chief Engineer FROM: Robert G. Peterson Traffic Engineer -'-O (St?6 � PECEIVE®- JUL 27 1962 DEPT. OF PUSL!C WORKS CHIEF ENGINEER July 26, 1962 Attached is the revised ordinance on truck routes which has been approved as to form by the Corporation Counsel. You may recall that this ordinance was originally transmitted to the City Attorney with your approval in a letter dated July 3, 1962. It was the intention of Commissioner Peterson and the Traffic Com- mittee that a.public hearing be held in connection with this ordinance. Perhaps you could convey this message to Commissioner Rosen. All the commissioners as well as yourself have copies of the truck route report, which covers the reasons for the proposed changes. Three other minor additions not covered in the report have also been added. They are a regular truck route through the stadium area via DeCourcy Drive, Rosen Road, Flynn Street and Schroeder Drive and the official designation as t-euck routes oa Larpenteur, Westminster to Payne and on McKnight from Hudson Road to Minnehaha. The latter two streets ha%e always been truck routes as,far as the county is concerned but since the county maintains the streets they have never been included.in our ordinance.

Very truly yours, / W PZ�, City Clerk a CITY OF SAINT PAUL - MINNESOTA 8 a September 20, 1962 St. Paul City Council City Hall & Court House St. Paul, Minnesota Gentlemen: The St. Paul Dispatch reports that it has again been proposed that Cleveland Avenue be designated as a truck route. It is also repo ed that the Chamber of Commerce is behind this proposal and is fur- ther supported by the Midway Civic Club. During the past couple years the citizens who live on or near this street (which is 98% residential) have been repeatedly threatened by such proposals. Only last month the council, temporarily at least, killed a similar proposal. The Council acted wisely in this respect. It appears that those who are sincerely interested in providing ad- equate truck traffic circulation have neglected to consider an important point. The opening of the new "Shortline Expressway" will provide a north -south route with termini at West 7th Street and (effectively) University Avenue, with connections to nearly all of the existing East -West truck routes. That portion of Cleveland Avenue affected by this truck route pro- posal lies entirely within the 44th Legislative District and I am greatly distressed over the consequences of the suggested ordinance on a fine residential area. I know that members of the City Council share my conviction that the stability of a neighborhood and the improvement of property values is, in great part, affected by the ability of property own- ers to plan their future with confidence. So long as this threat is repeatedly dangled over their heads this confidence cannot exist. I appeal to the Council to give these residents a favorable, quick and durable response to this truck route proposal. Respectfully, ( e Robert R. Dood 1994 Laurel Avenue HORACE .MANN PARENT - TEACHER ASSOCIATION SAINT PAUL 16. MINNESOTA St. Paul City Council City Hall and Court House St. Paul 2, Minnesota Gentlemen:, September 20, 1962 It has come to our attention that consideration is being given to making Cleveland Avenue a truck route. The Executive Board of the Horace Mann Parent- Teacher Association wishes to go on record to protest against any such traffic change. We feel that the street now is very difficult and dangerous for children to cross and the importance of this fact is emphasized by the number of elementary schools located within a block of Cleveland Avenue. When this matter agatin comes up for discussion, it is our hope that you will give thorough consideration to the dangers involved for our school children if traffic is greatly increased on this already busy street. cc Mr. Milton Rosen Traffic Committee St. Paul Chamber of Commerce Sincerely, Horace Mann Parent - Teacher Association By �� C%CoespotdiMnig D. athews Secretary 00 OFFICE OF CITY CLERK BUREAU OF RECORDS X386 City Hall and Court House St. Paul 2, Minnesota RECEIVED NOV 24 1962 DEPT.

We are enjoying the peace and quite which a residential area has a right to expect and although we do not oppose the light delivery trucks in making deliverys to our homes and storekeepers we do not want this part of Seventh Street to become a highway for freight trains. You Gentlemen a re elected by a majority vote on democratic principles and as we are very much in the majority against placing this part of Seventh Street on the Truck Route, we certainly should-expect the same consideration from you.
