Petition for Entrance on 7th Street for proposed Hospital Linen development, and to remove 6th st...
To direct traffic away from the residential 6th Street, and direct traffic towards commercial 7th Street, for both the Laundry Linen Site Development, and the Metropolitan State parking Structure, both in Dayton's Bluff, Saint Paul, MN. This includes adding an entrance on 7th Street for the Laundry Linen Development, and removing the 6th Street entrance for the Metropolitan State parking Structure.
Why is this important?
Traffic on 6th Street is a problem, and many people have worked over the years to decrease traffic on this residential street. The traffic causes noise, air pollution, and unsafe conditions for children, adults, and pets, on a residential street. The current plans for a development at the Hospital Linen site and the Metropolitan State parking structure in Dayton's Bluff, Saint Paul and Beacon Bluff do not contain a way to direct traffic to 7th Street, a commercial street, and will increase traffic on residential 6th Street and adjacent side streets. To date, the lack of a plan to direct traffic towards 7th Street encourages drivers to use 6th Street as a highway ramp to Interstate 94, which has resulted in the loss of life and property. This is completely unacceptable in a residential neighborhood, and will no longer be tolerated by residents of 6th Street, or Dayton's Bluff, and a closure of 6th Street between Mounds and Maria is demanded. The more support the more likely officials will listen. We're hoping to reach 150 signatures to show we are serious. Thank you!
