During this <br /> A period, I have taken almost daily trips to town <br /> 4 where my business is. It has been my custom to <br /> drive to the east end of Fox Street enroute to <br /> � Minneapolis, The traffic on Fox Street has <br /> increased tremendously. (I am also familiar <br /> � with your 6�Tatertown Road which runs parallel <br /> just north of Fox Street but I believe a <br /> ` tabulation of traffic would show heavier traffic <br /> • now on Fox Street than on ��latertown Road. ) <br /> ` When going west on Fox Street, you arrive at the <br /> intersection of Fox and ��Tillow with a totally <br /> `; blind corner to the north, so you have to edge <br /> out into the middle of Willow before you can see <br /> • what is coming. And by the way, where Watertov��n <br /> Road intersects with T�Tillow, you have a sign <br /> �' going south to the intersection of Fox and <br /> � [�7illow that says "40 Mile Speed Limit", �ohich <br /> tells the driver that he can legally hit the <br /> � intersection of Fox and [�Iillow going south at <br /> 40 miles per hour. <br /> � <br /> [��hen driving east on Fox Street, the view south <br /> at the intersection of Fox and Willow is obscured <br /> � by curve plus foliage, trees, etc. <br /> ! I have asked many people living in this vicinity <br /> their opinion of this intersection and without <br /> � e�ception they have agreed with me that it is a <br /> very dangerous crossing. I do hope this matter <br /> • �aill get your immediate attention before any <br /> serious accident occurs. <br /> • <br /> � I do hope the Council will put a 4-taay Stop sign <br /> �at Fox and Willow Streets. <br /> (Continued) <br /> • <br /> • <br /> r <br />
