Between mail deliveries, <br /> UPS/FedEx traffic, home maintenance vehicles and a number of lost drivers(there are a <br /> lot of lost driver because the location is confused with a Wayzata restaurant)—there <br /> seems to be traffic coming and going at all hours of the day. In addition, most of this <br /> traffic is moving well above the speed limit. <br /> With the current set-up of the road being a dead end (with no turnaround), this extra <br /> traffic utilizes resident's driveways as turnarounds. This takes a toll on driveways and <br /> yards and becomes a safety issue for the small children in the area who are playing in <br /> the driveways. <br /> Having a cul-de-sac at the end of Smith Avenue would elevate the pressure on <br /> resident's properties and make the street safer for all that live and play in the area. For <br /> these reasons, I wanted to offer my words of support for this project. <br /> I regretfully am unable to attend tonight's meeting but hopeful you will be able to <br /> consider my statements via this email. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Ryan Blackwell <br />
