Alden Village of Edina 4801 West 50th Street Minneapolis 24, Minnesota RE: Vacation of alley between France and Ewing Avenues Dear Mrs. Alden: This is in response to your letter of March 17, 1961. We have examined Certificate of Title No. 154923 in the office of the Registrar of Titles for Hennepin County, Minnesota. The certificate shows title to be in Kenneth 0. Parke and Harriet May Parke, husband and wife, to property legally described as Lot 8 and the South 32 feet of Lot 9, Block 4, "Abercrombie Addition to Minneapolis ". The resolution vacating the alley to the west of those lots was memorialized on the certificate as Document No. 476910 on October 7, 1955• Also memorialized on October 7, 1955, was a quit claim deed dated September 7, 1955 from Kenneth 0. Parke and Harriet May Parke, husband and wife, to Oscar M. Holt and Pearl Holt, husband and wife, conveying a perpetual easement for drive- way purposes over the west one half of the alley adjacent to the Parke premises, as described above. That document has been registered as Deeds Document No. 476911. The Holt property legally described as Lots 6 and 7 Block 4, "Abercrombie Addition to Minneapolis ", is abstract property. The tract index in the office of the Register of Deeds shows no ease- ment conveyed by the Holts to the Parkes. As noted above the easement to Mr. and Mrs. Holt appears to be in good order and valid and subsistingat the present time.

Joseph horsey, Colman, Barker, Scott & Barber First national -Soo Line Bldg. Minneapolis, Minnesota Dear Mr, Joseph: Re: Vacation of Alley between France-and Elaine Avenues we are writing you with regard -to straightening a rather involved matter, because you, rather than Mr. Erickson, were handling land transactions for us at the time these transactions occurred. Today, we received a personal call from Mr. 0. M. Holt, 5740 wing Ave. So., owner of Lot 6, Block 4, and Lot 7, Block 4, Abercrombie Addition, who has just received his tax statements, wherein his properties are described as "incl. adj. 1/2 of Vac.Alley ". Mr. Holt was much perturbed to learn that this alley had been vacated without his knowledge. in checking our records we find that,the Resolution Vacating Alley was recorded by your office late in the-year 1955; and as per your letter of transmittal to us, dated October 12, 1955, has been registered with Regiotras of Titles as Document No. 476910. A search of the Council Minutes tells us that the Council adopted the Resolution on August 22, 1955, after'an earlier - objection filed by lir. Holt (who has a garage on . the alley). August 22, 1955 Minutes state "An agreement was presented, granting to Mr. O.M. molt, 5740 Owing Ave., access to his garage. Agreement was reviewed and approved by Village Attorney Windhorst; and Fronk offered 'the following Resolution and moved its adoption: "Resolution Vacating Alley ". Then, we have my transmittal of August 24, to Mr. Windhorst, entitled "Re: Vacation of Alley "; your letter of August 26, 1955, to me, entitled "Vacation of Alley between France and Ewing Avenues (in which you enclose a deed. dated August 22, 1955, from+ Kenneth 0. Parke and wife to Oscar M. Holt and wife, informing me that this is a corrected deed removing the ambiguity contained in the description of the first deed); and stating, also, that until the time you receive the deed and certificate of title, you will holdup filing the - resolution vacating the alley. On August 29, 1955, we wrote Mr. L. Bruce-Osborn, 5701 France Ave., asking that he contact the Parkes and Holts for signatures on the corrected deed; and on September 12, 1955, we wrote you again, enclosing the corrected Quit Claim Dead but informing you that we had not sent the duplicate certificate of title, and asking that you contact the Parkes for it., There is no further correspondence in our file except your letter of October 12, 1955, transmitting the Resolution for Vacation, and Mr. Holt states he has no record of any I 1 j 'I Mr. wane B. Josephs 3/17/61 -2- Quit Claim:Deed from the Parkes to him. Also,'the legal description of the Parkes' property now is described as follows: Lot S, Block 4, Abercrombie °s Addition, incl. adj. 1/2 of vac. alley, and Lot 9, Block 4, Abercrombie °s Addition, incl. adj'. 1/2 of vac..alley. ` Mr. Bolt is much perturbed to know that the alley was vacated without some.protection for access to.his garage, and we will appreciate your letting both him and us know the status`of this matter. We feel sure that Mr. Holt-actually has the protection he is asking, but our records do not verify. this. Yours very truly,' Village Clork cc ®m Holt September 12, 1955 Mr. Duane E.

Parke and Harriet May Parke to Oscar M. Holt and Pearl Holt, with regard to the above vacation. We belatedly note that the duplicate certificate of title is also required; and we wonder if you would be kind enough to request this directly. There seems to be some little confusion about the .dedication, and we feel. that an attorneyt's `word concerning the necessity of receiving the certificate would be better ` received than ours.

We wish.to advise that we have an electric distribution line extending through this alley for the purpose of serving the residents in that block.

To date, we have been unable to obtain any concrete information. We understand that this project must wait its turn as far as the work itself goes, but right now we are most anxious for some assurance that we will have either a half =alley or a full alley in order that we may plan garages or be in a favorable position to sell. . It is well to remember that the primary reason for the opposition to the alley was from people living on level lots with access to a back yard garage from the street. In other words, they don1t need an alley* but some of us do need it very badly in order for our property to maintain a fair market value, There are three of us in particular who are over the barrel, so to speak, and beg your assistance* Art Helde, 5841 Jerry Dickenson, Chuck Reisdorph, York South 5837 York South 5833 York South Your early attention will be very much appreciated. Very truly yours, A. H. Helde cc: Trustee Exald Bank Trustee W. N. Dickson Trustee Frank Tupa Trustee John Kohler Thank you. April 30, 1958 Mr.-Maynard Hassel- quist, Dorsey,Owen,Barker,Scott &Barber First National Soo Line Building Minneapolis, Minn. Dear Maynard, I am enclosing some material related to.the controversyy which has arisen over the opening of the alley between Monroe and Madison Avenues.'_ At the time of the Council - sessions on this matter, Lot 3 was owned by Mr. Everett Garrison and he at that time objected to the proposed vacation of .the alley. The easements he was supposed to obtain from the property owners to the north of his lot were never obtained and the all was,-therefore, never vacated. In April of 1957 Mr. Garrison sold Lot 3 to Mr. John Silis with the following condition entered upon the contract for deed: "It is a condition of this contract that parties of the second.part shall have acess to the back of the lot concerned by a driveway" After finding that the natural topography of the alley was such that it was almost impossible to use it for driveway purposes, Mr. Garrison has subsequently removed with heavy earth moving equipment much of the terrain in that portion of the alley.-marked in red on the attached -plat. This excavation was done without permission from the Village and in such a manner so as to produce'a hazardous slope along the tear lot -line of Lot 24. Mr. Silis, a Displaced Person with very little command of the English language, seems to be a very innocent party to the Whole affair. His lot, being only 46 -feet wide does not have sufficient width for a driveway alongside his house. He would like to build a garage and, therefore,- needs the alley access to the rear of his lot. The owners of lots 2, 24 & 25 have told me that.they object to the alley being opened, and the owner of Lot 2 will not grant an access easement to Lot 3. That,theno-is the situation. What- possible'recuurse might.we- have against Mr. Garrison9 and also, what are the legal implications in furnishing of denying-Mr, Silis driveway access to the rear of his lot ?

If an owner obtains the material and has it placed on the property he can have it placed where he wants it. There is no ordinance regarding fill on a pers'on's land. See enclosed letter sent to Mr. John Shafer, 5133 William Ave. 3. - Memo written to Joseph Zikan on June 25, 1957, regarding the drainage on Blake Road near Nelson. Adam Batko has built up the berm and installed a culvert to carry the water to the pond. The street department tried to get the blacktopping completed between the exces- sive rains we had and did not have time to sod the banks or install the culvert. This caused the washouts you referred to. Mr. Batko has installed a culvert to prevent further erosion.

Edina 24, Minnesota July 310 1957 Mr. John Shafer 5133 William Avenue Edina 24, Minnesota Dear Sir 3 [r. Warren Hyde, the Edina Village tdanager, gave me a note to check on the excess dirt which was placed on some lots after the alley between William and Hankerson, south of West 51st `Street, was graded through in 1954. According to the specifications, if the Village of Edina did not designate a place to dispose of the excess material within half a mile of the construction area, the contractor must arrange to dispose of the material. The contractors usually contact the property owners nearby so that they do not have to haul this material too far. In.checking with the Village Attorney's office, they state that the Village does not have an ordinance prevent- ing a property owner from having a pile of dirt on his property, but that if an accident does occur the property owner is responsible. The Attorneys also stated that the Village of Edina does not have the right to go on this property without the owners permission to either remove these stockpiles or to level them. I trust that this is the information you desire.

Hyde Edina Village, 'Ianager; Edina',' MinnesoIta t Dear Mr. Hyde: On the evenirig 'of June 9, -1958,..an alley improvement'• was passed•.for: the five lots no: from 59th between Xerxes:. and York. Five home owners'were present and-opposed to this alley. As we'were not. allowed to state our reasons at the assembly, I shall list them here. I'.• Safety - 11hen- we bought our home ' ( 5836 Xerxes-'So: ).- four,. years.: ago,', Xerxes. was a very quiet street. With progress (Southdale'�.came the bus and undreamed of traffic. Ije have three pre - school children and it has been a constant vigil'to'nsure their safety. This is partially helped by a fence we built and keep locked. This "half - alley" will be a succession of delivery trucks, garbage trucks and cars backing in and out. Now we wontt be able to let our children out to run free in the back, as it too gill be danger- ous. II. Appearance - We were pleased to move to the suburb of Edina, and although it is far• from the finest in Edina, we like to keep the appearance as::close to the "suburban look" as we can. Ife liked the open spaces behind our.home,. it also made the lots appear larger. We were careful to buy a home placed on the lot with ample room for a driveway. - which any person inter- ested in a garage should check as well as churches, schools, shopping, etc. I have yet to see an attractive alley - especially a gravel one. We feel they detract from any property. We feel there will be -'too much wash -out from this half - alley. The engineer says there•will be no problem there, but mother nature tells us otherwise. You say you will plow this alley in winter - pushing the snow to the north end. This will mean too much water rushing doom in Xav 31, 1956 Mr. Duane Joseph Dorsey, Owens, Barker, Scott & Barber First National -Soo Line Bldge Minneapolisp Minnesota Dear Mr. Joseph: Rev Resolution Vacating Alley We are enclosing herewith two copies of "Resolution Vacating North-South Alley in ELock 15, 'West Minneapolis Heights Additions lying between Vwi Buren and Harrison Avenues and betureen Belmore lane and Maloney Avenue ".

After a heavy winter we have water pouring in our basement window and down the walls from the hills behind. We feel this spring thaw will completely wash out any gravel alley - especially since it is so low at the south end. They said this end would be graded up, but what will keep it from washing into 5848's back yard? Or must he build a retaining wall at his expense to keep the gravel out of his yard? How good or serviceable is an alley that is continually mashing out? III. Questionable legality or undemocratic procedure - The council meeting was called on a petition for an alley between 58th and 59th. Nothing was listed for a half - alley. It was-very strange that the three who wanted this half alley didn't even have to get up and ask for same - it had obviously all been "taken care oft' before the meeting. Incidentally, we saw the engineer in back the Saturday before the meeting discussing the affair with the people from 5533, 5537, and 5841 York. The mayor declared at the - meeting that we owed these neighbors - ;.some ''consideration' and intimated we (5836 Xerxes) were selfish as-we have room for a driveway. I would like to point out that 5837 York has more - room on the - side -of his home.than 5836-Xerxes. Also it should be noted that the people at 5841 York had already contracted to buy a new home in Minneapolis (where there is no alley). Iie do not feel we owe them the "consideration" of selling their home.for perhaps SP50.00 more so they can move out and leave the mess and danger for our children. There is a "For Sale" sign in front-of this.home right now. This leaves 5533. York. This home has been for sale off and on for several years. This owner has stated in the past if he had an alley he could sell his house. Isle don't feel an alley makes that much difference if the price is right. Just as many people dislike alleys as desire them. The owners at 5832 and 5844 Xerxes do not have room for a driveway and are opposed for any or all of the stated reasons.: There were 51% or more present and opposed at the meeting, and in spite of this, this half alley was passed. We are outraged at how this was handled and object to the favored treatment given these three home owners . -When the owners of 5805 York wanted an alley you told them unless a majority signed a petition, you would not consider it. They had to pay for their end of the alley themselves. When 5844 Xerxes asked for an alley, you told them that unless a majority (51%) of the lot owners signed a petition'requesting a full alley, you would not consider it. However, if they received permission from their neighbors concerned, they could put it in at their own expense. How does this last request differ from the precedence set by these previous decisions? Our homes mean a lot to us and we wish to go on record as still being Apposed to this half alley, and we respectfully request that you reconsider your decision.

Hyde, Village Manager Edina Village Hall 4801 West 50th Street Re: Alley Improvement Between York and Xerxes Avenues, 58th to 59th Streets Dear Mr. Hyde: In order to conserve time and tempers at the meeting, Monday night, June 9th, Itd like to bring out a few points in advance for your consideration and analysis prior to the hearing. As you already know, those of us who want and desperately need the alley improved, are very definitely in the minority. The arguments against are 100% petty and selfish, considering that most of the home owners involved bought their property knowing that the blockts alley space was there and that the block was originally plotted for an alley. This may be confirmed on every map in the village hall. Let't's keep in mind that we tre living in a democratic society and just because people dontt have children, theytre not excused from paying school taxes. I feel the same principle holds true in this alley situation. The builders of our homes,that dontt have access to the backyard from the street, certainly built and sold on the assumption that the alley would eventually be improved to provide garage accommom dations. I believe it would be a grave injustice and extreme hardship,re.-. garding the eventual sale of our properties,to deny us this long - awaited -for development. Your every consideration will be very much appreciated. Very truly yours, A. H. Held e cc: Arthur C. Bredeson,Jro, 4815 Maple Road, Edina Frank J. Tupa, 4609.Wooddale Avenue, Edina John A.

Minutes of 11- 12 -56: "Clerk presented Affidavit of Publication of "Notice of Hearing" in Edina- Morningside Courier October 25 and November 1* [9569 and of Posting of said Notice on October 25. Affidavits were approved as to.form and ordered placed on file. Mayor Bredesen called for recomm©ndati6ns and objections on the proposed vacation. Mrs. Robert E. Fleming, 318 Monroe Avenue* presented her objections, together with the written objection of Curtis Reynolds,, 316 Monroe Ave., area Arthur Hurtig9 323 Madison Avenue; and letters from Ralph Scheidt and Celia A. Nightingale, asking that their naries be removed from the petition. Fiat. Everett Garrisons oviner of the lo-t at 302 Monroe$, explained that when he pc,rchssed this lot he injuired at the Village Hall as to whether there were plans for vz :(.ation, and was tol-) that there were not; that he wants the alley to remain. IArr,. Reynolds asked teat Council decision be postponed for further study, and Front rsoved that Hearing 'e continued to Mondays November 26. Motion seconded by Tupa r:nJ carried." Minutes of 11- 26 -56a "Manac;:r ifyde opened this continued Hearing with the reading of a letter from Mrs. Elof 6. Carlson,,. objectir�j to having -the alley o e for the reason that she does not P.ish to pay an assesr.rnent for its improvement. Mrs. Fleming, objector to the proposed Vacation, told -he Council she feels there is some misunderstanding on the pv. of her neighbors of to what is to be done; that she,, and the other neighbors wy*) object to vacation,'wish to grade the alley at their own expense,, in order that `c'oy might have access to their rear yards. It was noted by the Council that there ;re some five lois a fected at the South end of the alley* and two lots at the North ind; that all propeYty owners on both sides of the alley* between Lots 4 and 23 and Lots 9 and 18, Bloc' 5, wish the alley vacated. Mr. Garrison told the Council he had checked with tht Village office before planning his house for Lot 39 and was told that the alley had not been vacated and he would have access to his lot from the rear; that these is now insufficient space for an attached garage at this new home. It was suggested, as a compromise, that the Council vacate that portion of the alley on which there vac, unanimous petition; then,, as another compromise* that the Council vacate th., entire alley* upon assurance that Mrs. Fleming, Mr. Garrison and any others needino access from the rear, secure easements from their neighbors for the neighbors' portirh of -tf,,e vacated alley; i.e., Mr. Garrison would secure easement from the owner of LC ,2 for the East 1/2 of the vacated alley; Mr. Curtis Reynolds* owner of Lot 10* wovi'd secure easements from the owners of Lots 11, 12 and 13 for the East 1/2 of the vf•.ated alley; Ure Fleming,, owner of Lot 11* would secure like easements from the ovamrs of Lots .12 and 13; and the owner of Lot 12 would secure easement from the ownex-of Lot 13. Because it was impossible to ascertain this evening as to whether such orsements could be secured,, Tupa moved that Hearing be continued to Monday,, Decem- ber 'Jo Motion seconded by Bank and carried." �.inutes of 12-10-56g "Manager Hyde reported he has received a telephone call from Mrs. Fleming, objector to vacation, that because of her neighbors' feelings she is willing to drop her objec- tions. There was no evidence presented that Mrs. Fleming and her other "land- locked" neighbors had been able to secure easements for access. Mr. Garrison, owner of lot three, stated he has had verbal assent of an easement from his enighbor to the North, but that an easement has not been tendered. He suggested that "no -one will be hurt if the alley is left opens just as it is now iii. Carlson, 303 Madison* spoke in definite objection to any proposed opening of the alley because of the grade involved. It was noted that,, even considering those persons who originally signed petition for vacation and since have asked to have their names withdrawn* there is still a ercentage of well over 500 for the proposed vacation. Tupa offered the following Resolution and moved its adopt-ion: :z � � � � �RO STREET ME � � � ., » ; ( �- . : � w (. .

Ann Joyce -103 South 18th Street Omaha, Nebraska --- t , Dear Mrs. Joyce: Your letter of July 25th, addressed to 14r. Hauthorne,- has been referred to me for reply. For your information, your letter did not reach us until July 29 ;. consequently it could not beiread at-our - Village Council Meeting. r . Because there were no objections at the public hearing for vacation, the alley was vacated by the Village Council at its, meeting of-July 280 For your information, however, vacation was heartily recommended•by our Village Engineer, because of the difference in grades between Zenith 'and•York Avenues. Vacation of the alley simply means -that an alley will never be cut through this block; and seven,feet;on each side of the fourteen -foot alley returns to the abutting property owner. Your let will, therefore, be seven feet longer than before. R As -to your other questions: In the past five years Edina has more than doubled its population. The section East of France Avenue, between France an4 Xerxes and between W.54thoand W.60th Streets is now almost entirely built up.1. The Dayton Company of Minneapolis has recently announced its plan for a huge suburban shopping center at 66th Street between France and Xerxes, which is expected to add,a decided- iiapetus to population growth in this :vi ci.nity. -The Council has very recently approved the application of the Minneapolis Street Railway Company for permit to operate a bus line between 44th and France Avenua and 59th and France, then across 57th Street to York Avenue. This brnge transportation to within two blocks from your property. Mrs. Joyce, Edina is really booming. Estimated population is about 12,000 and a very "startling increase in population is antici- pated over the next five years. Yours very truly., VILLAGE (7F EDINA BY Deputy Village Clerk P.S. About the newspaper - We now have the "Edina- Korningside.Courier," a. weekly, published at 3940 W.49J Street. An excellent small•publication. You will recall.'at the meeting last night a Mrs.Anderson of 402 Blake Road requested information as to whether or not the alley bDhi'ndn her house has been vacated..

MINNESOTA February 13, 1947 Re:.Vacation of Alley, Block 5, - - Mendelssohn Addition- We have your letter of February 5, 1947, with respect to the above matter. This will confirm our oral advice.to you that despite some doubts, based primarily on an Iowa - decision, we find that " the City of Minneapolis consistently vacates streets and alleys but reserves an easement for public utility purposes therein. We understand that you have decided to follow the Minneapolis pro- cedure rather than obtain the conveyances of an easement from the property owners and you have requested me to prepare the necessary resolution. This resolution may be on the usual form with respect to vacation of alleys„ with which we believe you are familiar, except that it should include the following addi- tional material: "Provided that said Village excepts from this vacation proceeding and�rr erves unto itself and its assigns an easement for ^ - public utility purposes, including, without limiting the general nature of said reservation, an easement for electric, gas, sewer, water, and telephone equipment on, over, and under the cent ten feet in width of the alley hereby vacated."

Petition signed by the owners of the ten tracts of land abutting alley. Motion by.Hawthorne that petition be accepted.and referred to Village Manager for report was seconded by Willson and carried. Regular Meeting of October 14, 1946: Petition to vacate alley in Block 5.,.Mendelssohn Addition., was agin brought before the Council-by Mrs. Greenwood and Miss Millar, who requested Mr. Smith s report. Smith reported.that he had investigated and had found that entrance to one garage would be impaired by such vacation; and that it was his recommendation that the Village deny the petition until such time as it was ascertained that it mould never be necessary to use said alley for Village purposes. He stated that the property could be used by owners of abutting..property, without vacation proceedings. Mr. Christopher asked that Mr. Smith comer further with Mr. Willson, that they bring their report before the Council at its next regular meeting, and that the property .owners be notified of the .Council!s action immediately after the neat meeting: Regular Meeting of October 28, 1946: Engineer Smith reported that the Village should have utilities easement in the alley in Block 5, Mendelssohg, before alley is vacated.

I am at a loss as to how to describe those easements,. inasmuch as we db not, want to,vacate the alley .until the easements have been acquired. As the alley has not yet been vacated, the abutting property owners cannot give an easemment through property they do not yet own. Therefore,, it occurs to me =that' in tho vacati'bn proceedings by the'Council we might insert a clause in our Resolution, retairdng a ten -foot easement through the, eenter'..of the sixteen foot alley; thus eliminating the necessity Of secur3rig easements from each individual property owner. Would this be Legal? a Mrs. Greenwood' has called..this office; several times, wanting to know what action has .been taken, ,soils i4ould appreciate -having an opinion by next Monday night if possible.

Alden Edina Village Clerk rte. ..v f- . 46 TO ) THE VILLAGE COUNCIL) VILLAGE OF EDINA ) STATE OF MINNESOTA ) P E T I T I O N The undersigned represent that they are the sole owners of real property abutting on the line of Drew Avenue So. from the south intersection of said Drew Avenue-with 55th Street for a distance south along Drew Avenue measured by the east line of Lot One (1) of Block Six (6), Woodbury Park near Lake Harriet, abutting Drew Avenue on the west line of said Avenue (214 feet), and south along the west and south line of Lot Five (5) of Block Seven (7), Woodbury Park near Lake Harriet, abutting on the. east line of said Avenue (191.8 feet to a curve of 107.5 feet); and the undersigned petition that said portion of Drew Avenue So. lying between Lot One (1) of Block Six (6) on the west and lot Five (5) of Block Seven (7) on the east, as such lots are heretofore described, be vacated. The facts and reasons for this application are as follows: (1) Drew Avenue So. from the intersection with 55th Street is a dead -end Street running into Minnehaha Creek. (2) There are no properties other than those of the abutting land owners which the portion of Drew Avenue, described in this Petition, serves. In this connection there is no specific need for access to Minnehaha Creek at this particular point, nor is there any reason for Drew Avenue to be extended across the Creek in view of the fact that bridges now exist one block to the east of Drew Avenue as well as approximately two blocks to the west of Drew Avenue on France Avenue. The cost of extending Drew Avenue and bridging Minne- haha Creek would be excessive under these circum- stances. (3) The grade level of Drew Avenue from its inter- section with 55th Street declines very rapidly making maintenance of the Avenue difficult and expensive. (4) Unless this portion of Drew Avenue is surfaced,, erosion difficulties will be encountered. The cost of'such permanent surfacing would not com- mensurate' with the benefit to be derived. (5) The normal access to the lots abutting on Drew Avenue south of 55th Street -is from the 55th Street line rather than from Drew Avenue. Under these conditions, not even the abutting land owners would derive any benefit from completion of Drew Avenue. - 1 - In consideration of the vacation of Drew Avenue So. as herein petitioned, the undersigned hereby jointly and severally waive any and all claims for any damages resulting from the vacation and discontinuance of said Avenue, and the undersigned agree that the Village of Edina may make such arrangements as are necessary and reasonable to provide for surface water drain- age down the center of the present line of Drew Avenue.

KHC sM Enclosures - 3 VILLAGE OF EDINA COUNTY OF HENNEPIN PETITION FOR BLOCKADING ALLEY We, the undersigned six residents of the Village of Edina, con- stitute all of the residents whose property adjoins that certain.alley from Wooddale Avenue and extending in a westerly direction to Country Club Road, all of said alley being in Block Sixteen. Since having this alley hard - surfaced sometime ago, we have become increasingly worried and dis- turbed at the amount of through traffic which is developing through this short cut between the two streets; and as parents of several children who attend Edina School, we are apprehensive of accidents�or injuries to the numerous school children who walk across or along this alley in getting to school. We. the undersigned residents, therefore, respectfully petition the Edina Village Council to have placed across said alley at a suitable location a small blockade sufficient to stop through automobile traffic but continuing to permit foot traffic.
