Our family has lived at 450 East Long Lake Rd. for more than 50 years. In addition to <br />the cost considerations regarding the reconstruction of the roadway, we also have concerns regarding the safety <br />of this road. Cars often-times travel at unsafe speeds on this road and it can be dangerous when 2 cars meet each <br />other on this narrow road as there is no margin for error and there are no shoulders or space for pedestrian <br />traffic. This situation can be more serious when people are exiting from Summit Park Beach onto East Long <br />Lake Rd as there is restricted visibility when exiting the park. <br />In addition to the above-mentioned items, we encourage the city staff to confirm whether there are existing <br />easements for this road. A title search for our property conducted several years ago revealed that no easement <br />for the road existed relative to our property at that time. <br />Based on the cost and the other issues as mentioned above, we would like to see the road closed to car traffic <br />north of 550 East Long Lake Rd. Please feel free to contact Norm Hamman at 952-212-7442 for further <br />questions or discussion as needed. <br />Picase confirm receipt of this message and thank you for considering our comments. <br />
