Mayor Tom Furlong The City Commission City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard Chanhassen, Mn 55317 January 17, 200& RE: HANDICAP V AN TRANSPORTATION FOR CHANHASSEN SENIORS A number of us Seniors have been involved in driving Chanhassen residents with handicaps to the Senior Center and other place in Chanbassen over a period of several years. We don't know what the Senior population of Chanhassen is or the number of Handicap people who are not able to drive, cut certainly this number will only increase. We can no longer afford the liability of transporting these people around. They have tried using Metro Mobility and Cart only to have a lot of frustrations. There are two people within six blocks of each other who want to go and come from the Senior Center at about the same time and Metro Mobility cannot work this out for them. Some have to wait several hours after the activity is over and the Center is closed until their ride picks them up. There are many residents who no longer are allowed to drive. I understand the Eden Prairie Senior Center has two handicap vans available for these types of situations. We can no longer provide this service and hope the City of Chanhassen will step up to the plate and prepare for our handicap residents in Chanhassen. We have enough senior housing (Surnmerwood, Centennial Hills, Power Ridge) and probably other buildings that could benefit from this very much needed service.
