Don Germanson <br />245 West Point Road <br />Tonka Bav' MN 55331 <br />(612) 474-9226 (h) <br />(612) 470-0744 (w) <br />April 20, 1995 <br />Jo Ellen Hun- <br />City Council <br />City of Orono <br />Dear Jo Ellen, <br />I live in Tonka Bay and I support closing Old Beach Road <br />for the following reasons: <br />Safety: <br />- It is safer to not drive through a residential street. <br />- It is safer to join another road at a stoplight. <br />IIIIINeighborh( <br />-1 support quiet and peaceful neighborhoods <br />Environment and Lake Minnetonka: <br />- Anytime there is an opportunity to pull heavy traffic away from the lake will <br />enhance the lake. More traffic close to the lake means more salt, sand and <br />runoff that eventually ends up in the lake. <br />Time Burden: <br />- any time burden eliminating this ‘short cut ’ of approximately 30 seconds is <br />ridiculous relative to the benefits mentioned above.
