OlVfctroTransit <br />June 12.2003 <br />Kurt Erickson <br />Orono Police Depattmcnl <br />P.O. Box 86 <br />CrysUlBay.MN SS323 <br />Subject: Navarre: Bus Stop Inbound Near Co. Rd. 1 5 at Co. Rd. 19 <br />Dear Mr. Erickson: <br />There is a suggestion that the eastbound bus stop and shelter prescntiy located two blocks west of the <br />intersection of County Roads IS & 19 in Navarre, be relocated to the municipal parking lot Park & <br />Ride below and behind the Navarre shops on the noithside of County Road 15 (Shoreline Drive). <br />The idea is for inbound buses to turn left at 3440 Shoreline Drive and wend their way to the Navarre <br />Municipal Parking Lot behind and below the shops. The buses would then exit the municipal <br />parking lot turning right on Lyric Avenue, right on County Road 19 (Shadywood Road), left and <br />regular. <br />Some objections to this proposal disqualify it from consideration: <br />I. From a training standpoint it lus challenges: <br />A) to locate the left turn leading to the unseen municipal lot <br />B) to weave one ’s way through the lot itself, and <br />C) to find and set up the exit turns <br />II. Construction and geometry of the lot would require attention <br />A) parking lots are not normally built for heavy buses <br />B) the available widths and clearances, given legitimately parked vehicles, could easily <br />call into question the possibility of accommodating 40-foot and 60-foot long buses. <br />C) $1 jpe, Southend, would need treatment in ice and snow, and <br />III. It c.*eates a discontinuity in an otherwise straight route ali^ment. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bob Beuta <br />District Supervisor <br />cc: Dick Loefflcr <br />A service of the Metropolitan Council <br />SaOSMhA»wx«Nore< <br />Ntp/AMiMtinakoVan«< o«g <br />MtfircipoL^ Mmoott SS41 l-savt (6iaS49-7400 Into 373-3313 TTY 341-OUO <br />An Equal Oppoma> ty EmptOfar
