<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />June 10, 1986 <br /> <br />Public Hearings, continued <br /> <br />Gunderman asked how Ramsey County would construct a detached bike <br />path within the forty foot right-of-way if council decided to <br />approve such a design; Leonard indicated a minimum of fourteen <br />feet each for north and south lanes and four feet of curb on each <br />side leaves eight feet for a barrier and a bike path. Leonard <br />indicated that type of a plan left no space for emergency situa- <br />tions. <br /> <br />Brandt expressed concern about the situation by Daisy Court; and <br />understands Ramsey County has considered all options, including <br />those suggested tonight by the residents. Brandt asked if there <br />was something that could be added for traffic control that would <br />alleviate the problem. <br /> <br />Leonard indicated if the left turn problem at Daisy Court was the <br />real issue, it would be possible to install a triangular porkchop <br />concrete median right in the middle of the intersection of Daisy <br />Court, and have it "right turn in" and "right turn out" only; if <br />a left turn at that location was a real safety problem, it would <br />be possible to make it impossible to make a left turn. <br /> <br />Brandt stated that in such a situation, the people on Daisy Court <br />would have to reroute themselves for safety reasons; Leonard so <br />confirmed. <br /> <br />Motion by Schmidt, seconded by Gunderman, to WAIVE THE READING <br />AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENT FOR PROJECT <br />85-1, PHASE ONE, FOR LONG LAKE ROAD UPGRADING. <br /> <br />Benke commented that councilmembers have listened to a lot of <br />questions, comments, and suggestions tonight and hoped they had <br />been answered to the satisfaction of those who raised them; feels <br />no combination of concrete, asphalt, vehicles, and drivers is <br />every going to be 100% foolproof. After listening to the <br />concerns of the residents, parents of Irondale students, and <br />professional judgements of staff for the last two years, believes <br />the City has arrived at as good a package of improvements for <br />this area that we can come up with and intends to support and <br />proceed with the project. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried <br /> <br />Motion by Schmidt, seconded by Brandt, to WAIVE THE READING AND <br />ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PLANS FOR LONG LAKE ROAD uP- <br />GRADING PROJECT 85-1, PHASE ONE. <br /> <br />4 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried <br /> <br />Page Ten <br />
