Purcell Packet �" �� �� �� Dear Mr. Mayor, Yesterday, I conducted a funeral at the Holcomb...Purcell home on(536 N. Snelling) and learned of a plan to redesign Charles Avenue in an effort to accommodate bicycle traffic. Basically,the idea seems commendable, although there will be changes made at the intersection of Snelling and Charles which will have an adverse affect on the funeral home. Those traveling southbound on Snelling will no longer be able to turn left at Charles. And auto processions departing from the funeral home will no longer be able to turn left onto Snelling. (The image of a long string of cars snaking its way through the neighborhood is almost comical.) Perhaps,there is a way for the bicycle route to cross Snelling at Edmund or Thomas. (Thomas would even give the bikers a traffic light.) I am pleased to support the Holcomb home in its lament, aware that businesses such as these are really more than a business. They play a significant role in the community similar to churches, addressing a milestone in life which calls for solemn recognition. This particular home has been an extraordinary asset to the Midway area for many decades. Respectfully submitted, Rev. Frank Dreisbach 1749 Tavlor Avenue �- - St. Paul, MN �5104 (651) 646-1724 �I � _._._- - � W N N N N N N N N N N � � -� � O C� 00 �I � CJ1 � W N � O CO 00 �! � � r� � -_� ` , � � �' �``� `._._ �,, r �, t- �.� � � � ,._...�-- °- r' �-�`-' ��'` Z o /,_. °S - c - � , � � � - � r.� _ �� � � � � . � � , � �t �` -� � � �, � ` ,� `,, ` 'C � � � r� `',� "�. � `° � , � � ��.. �y :i �� �� � � 7� � �_ � �, � , r -� y� � _ � � �[+; �.. ; y � �� =�=" =:' � .. �_�1 d " 1 � � (�` �� � Cn � � �y � � �jl V/ �. � �� :_, d . �� � ...� b � =- � - �� �... � o �� � � - -� � � � � s -� ,- . � _ ` .,. . ;� .. � , � m � � � � ` °, �i� ' °��' C7 D � . �._1 � v � ` \ ,:1 J � r 1; � `,� �\ � !� � : .. � � � � � ` i � � a � - ,�`-� � C �. � , � '�, � � � ��� �� / `�, t� ��-' ITl � -� '1 .� ``�� �- ` .� � � � � ,, � � O � � � � �:=�� � � , T1 \ � � , � ��� � r � J �.. _� � m —0 . ; � � � �.. -� �-, `- �, +h = � —1 � ..L, �' 1 ^�'� �� 1� �- ° ' � � l.� '� 'J� G Gr� r �, � � � C �1 a � O � � � � c�' �� C�`� �� � -� �� � v�i rn z � �, � . �, �' � .� �.

Mayor Coleman Charles Avenue Bike/Pedestrian Proposal Concerns regarding the Snelling Avenue Intersection: Charles Avenue is not a safe place to cross Snelling Avenue without a controlled lighted traffic light. It will also have a permanent sign�ficant negative economic impact on all the businesses located at and near the Charles and Snelling Avenue intersection. Advanta�es of Crossin� Snelling Avenue at Edmund. This would be a verv short simple chan�e to re-route the bike/pedestrian �ath from Charles and Asbury north one block to Edmund, the bike/pedestrian path would then follow Edmund across Snelling Avenue to Aldine. Edmund is alreadv a single block in length between Asbury and Snellin� Avenue. Edmund is not a through street between Asbury and Simpson (east of Asbury) The Snellin� Avenue center median at Edmund is alreadv a cemented median intersection which prohibits all left hand turns from south and northbound Snelling Avenue traffic. Edmund Avenue stops at Aldine,just as Charles Avenue does. This would not have anv negative impact on current business operations This would not have anv negative impact or change to business access for all businesses located near the Snelling and Charles Avenue intersection. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advantages of Crossing Snelling Avenue at Thomas Avenue This would be a verv short simple chan�e to re-route the bike/pedestrian path from Charles and Asburv north two blocks to Thomas Avenue, the bike/pedestrian path would then follow Thomas Avenue and then cross Snelling Avenue at a controlled safe lighted intersection then continue to Aldine. �-�ww.w.� . x� .sz�= . Thomas Avenue at Snelling Avenue alreadv has installed a 4 wav controlled lighted intersection. This will allow all bikers/pedestrians to cross Snelling Avenue a busy 4 lane, State Highway and designated Truck Route to cross when the north-bound and south-bound Snelling Avenue traffic has been stopped by the controlled traffic light at this intersection. This would not have anv negative impact on current business operations This would not have anv negative impact or change to business access for all businesses located near the Snelling and Charles Avenue intersection. * Both of the above options will still provide a safe bike/pedestrian path moving forward. This will allow continued business interests to continue "AS IS" with out anv changes to anv business flow/access. And also provides a controlled intersection where bikers and nedestrians willl be able to cross Snelling Avenue SAFELY !

Pg. 3 Regarding Ontion#2 This option,woutd keep all interested parties pleased,if the bike/pedestrian path could simply be re-routed at the corner of Charles and Asbury, north one block, up onto Edmund Avenue. Allowing the bikelpedestrian path to have a short re-directed route to cross at Edmund Avenue (just one short block north oF Charles Avenue at the corner of Asbury) This allows a safe pedestrian/bike cross over point at Snelling Avenue (but without a controlled traffic light which Thomas Ave., and Snelling intersections offer) Having a roundabout installed at the intersection of Charles and Asbury, re-directing the bike and pedestrian path one short block north to Edmund Avenue and crossing Snelling at Edmund will still slow the Chazles Avenue traffic flow as intended by the proposal.

This opening would encourage U turns from the southbound Snelling Avenue at Sherburne Avenue this would be a verv danQerous option. Vehicular traffic moving northbound from University Avenue on Snelling Avenue from the traffic lights and navigating through the new light rail area, will have no intention of stopping for any crossing traffic at Sherburne Avenue including those needing to make a U Turn at Snelling and Sherburne Avenues to return back northbound on Snelling Avenue. * Opening the Median at ' � � :� Snelling and Sherburne Avenue...

(Aldine is two blocks west of Snelling Avenue and Aldine is a north south street. Charles Avenue does not travel west of Aldine. * Sherburne, Charles and Edmund all end two blocks to the west of Snelling Avenue at Aldine.
