Richard and Virrinia Crnven <br />1305 Shorelinu Dr. <br />Wayzata, Minn. 55391 <br />To the City of Orono, <br />5 N BW P1 <br />i~ <br />f SEP - 3 M <br />1 <br />.1e are writing; this letter to ,you, as Orono residents, in hopes of making <br />Highway 15 safer for the residents who live on Shorline Dr. between mussel Ave <br />and Orono Orchard Rd.. We are asking that the speed limit in front of our <br />house and that of our neighbors' be reduced to 35 NP}I. Since Hwy 15 curves <br />at Woodhill Country Club, it seems that it would be a logical place to reduce <br />the speed limit. <br />We would like to mention some important reasons for our request. First, <br />we have three children, the youngest is in the third grade and must wait <br />on Hwy 15 for the bus. For the past three years I have held my brea th til <br />he is on the bus because the traffic is incredible , cars and trucks whizzing <br />by him. Returning home at 4 p.m. is much the same way. Some c-rs do not <br />even slow down, let alone stop, for the bus's stogy signal. Our- children <br />are not the only kids who must wait for the bus on Hwy 15 between Russel and <br />Orono Orchard Rd., there are several others. <br />Secondly, it is very dangerous to enter and exit our driveways along; this <br />stretch. With cars traveling 50 mph and often closer to 65 mph, we put <br />our lives on the line every time we leave our driveway or try to enter it. <br />Thirdly, when cars are rtrked along our side of Hwy 15, to go fishing or <br />whatever the reason, we literally cannot See around them to view traffic <br />that is coming at 50 mph! <br />We are asking to have the r>peed reduced to 35 mph and to have a No Parking <br />sign in front of our house. :'lease consider these requests immediately <br />before someone is killed. <br />�j.hank You, <br />Dick and Virginia Craven <br />
