good. As far as them asking us to support, we had better know what we want for our business <br />park on the north and south side. <br />Mayor Ramsey asked if there has been any thought of redesigning down #47 and Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard. <br />Mr. Olson replied yes, the owner of the bank hired RLK Engineering that provided some <br />conceptual design for modifications for that area. Working with the City of Anoka would be the <br />next action step before we go to the County. <br />Councilmember Elvig asked should we look at different legs; are we looking over all and how do <br />we organize the rest of this and what is our goal. <br />Mr. Olson stated that's why we are here tonight is to hear our goals. We talked about <br />eliminating hard channelization — that will probably not be possible. <br />Mr. Ulrich stated that he thinks the approach will be going intersection by intersection. We need <br />to show these designs will work versus the spacing. Is there still support for modifying access on <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard and #47. There will probably be some dollars matched for engineering <br />from the two cities. We may have to do it ourselves or get some share with business owners. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated they have talked about it having to benefit the County system — what if it <br />benefits the State system. <br />Mr. Olson replied that was a good point. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated that a right -in at End Zone and Sunfish Express would benefit the State <br />system. You will make it safer on Highway #10 with a right out only and adding an acceleration <br />lane. <br />Mr. Olson stated, regarding Frank Yamoutpour, that he is not so sure business owners would <br />want that but he is fairly certain the biggest concern he heard from him (Yamoutpour) was a left <br />out northbound <br />Mayor Ramsey suggested that a left in northbound would be a 50 percent plus for Mr. <br />Yamoutpour. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated that Bunker Lake Boulevard is a reliever for Highway #10 NW. <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard is the only roadway close to that one. The idea of limiting the speed in <br />moving things will not fly with the County. It seems they will be unreasonable to some <br />suggestions. If you think it's difficult to lower the speed limit, try raising them. <br />Councilmember Wise suggested that if 45 gets rid of hard channeling you could move just as <br />many people just as fast. You are not stacking people. He did not know if any, as far as <br />engineering firms, would support that. <br />City Council Work Session — April 5, 2011 <br />Page 4 of 12 <br />
