BOX 65 <br />HARWOOD, NO 58042 <br />(101) 281-0314 <br /> <br />March 30, 2007 <br /> <br />Mayor Rohrich <br />Harwood City Council <br />210 Freed/lUid Drive <br />HanNood,~ 58042-0065 <br /> <br />Re: Safe Rou.tes to School <br /> <br />Honorable Rohrich & CounciJ: <br /> <br />I am writing this letter on bchalfofthe Park Board in Harwood North Dakota, As <br />the president of the Park Board, I strive, with every project, to create a fun, sl1fe J)laying <br />environment for the children ofHlUWood. Our town takes pride in our children. This is <br />the t)'pe oftowll where neighbo~ still/oak out for one another. We all believe that it <br />takes a viUage to raise a child, and we all do Our best for the children in Harwood. Tl1is is <br />why we deaperlltely ne~d a safe crossing for our kids to reach their school.Tlle current <br />overpass is old and has no sidewalk. Any childrcn crossing, in order to rcaoh the school, <br />playground or simply a friend's house, hu no cushion from the traffic. There is no safe <br />stopping point if they need to wait for, turning car or clenr visibility for a driver to see a <br />Iitt.!c one coming toward them. As you can see, we have an overpass that possesses a <br />safety hazard. This is not a problem that we can solve alone. OUT town is small, with no <br />high-end commercial development. This means our tax base is small. We stretch every <br />dollar Rnd tap every resource just for playground equipment. This pTl;Ijcct will be large <br />and expensive. We desperately need asshltance from an outside source to give our <br />chi Idlen a safe passage to school. I hope that you can help us in this exoiting endeavor. <br /> <br />With Enthusiasm, <br /> <br /> <br />~~7J.k~~ <br /> <br />P.8 <br />
