Councilmember Bauman asked if Cleveland would remain a four way stop at 35W. Mr. Horn stated this was <br />MnDOT's proposal. <br />Councilmember Burg commented that traffic along Cleveland Avenue at 35W was extremely difficult. She <br />questioned if this could be improved. Public Works Director Wyffels commented MnDOT had concerns about <br />putting in traffic signals given the grade change and sight distance issues. He discussed the current and future <br />capacity of the bridge. He indicated the real problem was the proximity of the ramp to Cleveland Avenue. <br />Councilmember Bauman believed that if the traffic congestion was alleviated on 35W, the problems on <br />Cleveland Avenue would be improved. <br />Public Works Director Wyffels indicated the Council will need to make a determination on lighting on the <br />north side of E2. He explained that two antiquated lift stations would be eliminated through this project and <br />would be replaced with one new lift station. He explained that CSI, Pulte Homes and other development in <br />NBE would create additional pressure along the roadways in New Brighton and the bridge improvements <br />would greatly assist the City. Staff further discussed a potential timeline for the bridge projects. <br />Councilmember Bauman thanked staff for the thorough review that was provided on these projects. <br />Worksession adjourned at 6:36 pm <br />
