I REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE By: Public Works Staff CASE #: Background: The Public Works Committee met on Tuesday, October 16, 2001 and discussed the following two cases: Case #1: Potential Rum River Transportation Crossing Staff gave a background on the concept of a bridge crossing over the Rum River connecting the City's of Andover and Ramsey. A map was shown illustrating the area surrounding the Boy Scout Camp as well as some testimony from the Boy Scout Camp that was presented in March of 1995 before the future crossing was removed from the City of Ramsey's Comprehensive Plan. Discussion ensued regarding the possibility of reintroducing the future bridge crossing and it was the decision of the Public Works Committee to discuss the matter further when the City's of Andover, Anoka and Ramsey sit down for an upcoming joint City Council meeting. Council Action: No action required Case #2: Request for Stop Sign at 145th Lane NW and Tungsten Way The Committee was presented the current traffic conditions at the intersection of 145th Lane NW and Tungsten Way. The conditions do not warrant the installation of an all-way stop condition as requested. Staff recommended against the installation of all-way stop sign as requested and the Committee concurred. Council Action: Motion to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee and direct Staff to deny the request to install ail-way stop signs at the intersection of 145th Lane NW and Tungsten Way.
