STOP SIGN REQUEST

Council Report No. 98 -130

Hopkins, MN 55343
Dear Mr. Redepenning:
Sincerely,
Tiphanie and Mark Dirnberger Joy and Tim Snyder
322 7 Avenue North 242 7t Avenue North
Beth and Mark Jones
310 7t Avenue North
We are writing to ask that additional stopsigns be installed at the
intersection of 7 Avenue North and 3 Street. Currently the east --
west traffic on 3rd Street has stopsigns, but the north -- south traffic on
7 Avenue North does not.
We feel strongly that the intersection needs a four way stopsign (see
attached petition). Our main concern is the safety of our
neighborhood children; eighteen children under the age of 10 within
half a block of the proposed stopsigns. In addition, there is quite a bit
of pedestrian traffic, including people associated with Chapel View,
Gethsemene Lutheran Church and Alice Smith Elementary.
Traffic is generated by Chapel View Nursing Home, Gethsemane
Lutheran, and downtown businesses (including Hopkins Honda) in
addition to general neighborhood traffic. The speed of the traffic is
also of issue as cars pick up speed as they travel south.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Please let us know if
we need to take additional measures.
