There’s a tree that blocks the view at an intersection near my house. Can the City remove it?
Sgt. Tim Olson handles the Clear View concerns and will view the area first. If he finds a violation, a letter will be sent to the property owner and the Sergeant will work with him or her to correct the issue. The relevant City Ordinance is available online and Sgt. Tim Olson can be reached at 952- 826-1610.
The three officers and sergeant of the Traffic Unit address those complaints, provide routine enforcement and monitor vehicle and pedestrian safety in the community. Traffic officers also participate in City events such as Safety Camp, July 4 parade and educational activities throughout the year.
In 2010, officers of the Traffic Unit issued approximately 20,000 traffic citations. In addition, they partner with other law enforcement agencies in the Minnesota Safe and Sober Campaign, which includes “Click It or Ticket.” For more information about Safe and Sober, click here. Our current Safe and Sober effort is highlighted in our "Current Events" section.
An important part of traffic safety is driver awareness, and one of the tools used to promote awareness is the radar trailer. The trailer is placed around town based on officer observation and citizen input. Please contact Sgt. Tim Olson 952-826-1610 during business hours for information about the trailer or if you think your neighborhood would benefit from the trailer.
Sgt. Olson reminds drivers of the “Move Over” law. “This Minnesota statute requires drivers to move at least one lane over from any stopped emergency vehicle," he said. "Just that simple action could save a life, and we will cite anyone we see in violation of that law. ” The statute, also known as the Ted Foss law, is available online.
