<br /> �". PETITION - COUNTY RD. 146 (BROWN RD. ) DETOUR
<br /> On April 2, 1979, County Rd. 15 will be closed from Cty Rd. 51 to Wayzata for
<br /> ax rebuilding the Tanager Lake Bridge and installation of a sewer interceptor line.
<br /> �i Construction is scheduled to last for 45 working days or about 10 weeks. During
<br /> this period, traffic from 15 will be rerouted along county road 146 (Brown Road)
<br /> thru Orono and Long Lake to State Highway 12.
<br /> Traffic on Brown Road will be increased from 1 ,000 cars per day to 11 ,000 cars
<br /> per day! This will turn an already hazardous road into an extremely dangerous
<br /> one, jeopardizing the lives of children and pets , and creating difficult access.
<br /> This 2 mile stretch of road (Brown Road from 51 to Watertown Road) has no
<br /> significant turns and no stop signs which has created a speedway with speeds
<br /> often exceeding s 0 mph in 40 mph zone.
<br /> We, the undersigned, live on or near Brown Road (146) and have our only or our
<br /> primary access onto South Brown Road. In order to reduce this threat to our
<br /> health, safety, and welfare, we are petitioning the City of Orono and the
<br /> County of Hennepin to:
<br /> � 1 . Have a police patrol car on duty during the morning and evening rush
<br /> hours (6:30 am to 8:30 am and 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm) assigned exclusively
<br /> to patrol the section of County Road 146 from County Road 51 to Highway
<br /> 12 to enforce the s�eed and other traffic laws during the period of
<br /> the detour.
<br /> 2. Install a 4 way stop sign at 146 and Fox Street to slow down the
<br /> traffic flow during the period of this detour. To be effective,
<br /> the signs must be installed before April 2, 1979

<br /> Some of us have already had pets and children hit by cars on Brown Road under
<br /> normal traffic conditions as indicated below.
