Councilmember Beyer inquired if there is any way to compensate for the damage already <br />done. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski reiterated that the City did have communication with the school engineers - <br />they were aware of what was going to be done. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer stated that even though we did have the communication, she still <br />feels responsible. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin suggested reviewing different alignments and discussion this issue at a later <br />date. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer reiterated that as a Councilmember, she feels very responsible. <br /> <br />Case #10: Petition Requesting the Closure of 171st Avenue N.W. <br /> between Bison Street N.W. and Zeolite Street N.W. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated he was called by some people on 171 st Avenue N.W. <br />about a petition to vacate that. He agreed with Mrs. Dusbabek that the chances of closing <br />171 st Avenue are rather slim. He thought the City could do something like speed bumps or <br />a stop sign to .protect the children in the area. He reported that he went around in his own <br />area at one pmnt and got a stop sign and he feels it's very worthwhile. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson questioned if the problem is speed or the amount of traffic. He <br />felt it was more the amount of traffic. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that south of 171st on Bison, there are probably six <br />houses and they are probably picking up some traffic from the north. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder disseminated City of Ramsey traffic counts. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson noted that he has about 148 cars going by his (Peterson's) house <br />every day. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder commented that it's not really speed or the amount of traffic - it's the <br />irritation of the issue as well. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer stated she would like to see Bison Street N.W. get paved. We <br />should bring it up again for discussion. We have discussed having all of our dirt streets <br />paved. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that in the fall of 1993, we identified 10 or 11 projects that <br />had dirt streets. We did a survey on how strongly people felt about paving and by the <br />results, the project would not be a go. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated we should look into getting a couple of street signs, <br />speed bumps, etc. The streets are pretty long allowing cars to collect quite a lot of speed. <br /> <br />Consensus was to refer this discussion to the Road and Bridge Committee. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski suggested it may be a good idea to go through a whole summer with the <br />speed humps on Dysprosium before installing them elsewhere in the City. <br /> <br />City Council/March 28, 1995 <br /> Page 12 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
