Post in Spring/Summer and issues with Central Park

May 01 20:15 UTC

I knew that buying a house on Lexington across the street from Central Park
would mean that I would have complaints, but there are some I think Roseville
can address:

1) Loud stereos/bass (loud enough at well after 10 pm to rattle our windows and
wake up our son).  Roseville does have a noise ordinance.

2) Speeding on Lexington Avenue and side streets in the area (I actually saw a
little girl get thrown off her bike by the wind from a pickup going way too
fast on our street)

3) Vehicles not stopping for pedestrians (this is getting better with the
semaphore, but it is still an issue)

4) Better posting of parking regulations (we often have people try to park on
the north side of our street which is south side parking only).

5) DNR specific: Monitoring of the people fishing at Lake Bennett who are
taking all the fish they catch regardless of size or limit.

6) Cleanup of the debris (pop cans, bottles, plastic bags) in Lake Bennett.

1&2&3 can be combined by the officers who do occasional speed traps on
Lexington increasing the frequence, stopping people for excessively loud
stereos or ticketing people for not stopping for pedestrians

4 - more signage and ticket people who are parked illegally

5 - DNR needs to monitor, I have called them, but they do not care to respond.

6 - since Bennett is a no boating lake, and the debris cannot be reached from
shore (usually), I would think Parks & Rec would have to take care of this.  We
can all assist by making sure anything we bring in is thrown out in a garbage
can or taken with us when we leave.

I am also considering posting no trespassing signs in my yard because people
will walk over 30 feet into our yard to pick the fruit from our trees.
