Case #2: DisCussion Regarding Proposed Connection of Snnwood Drive to T.H. #47 City Engineer Steve Jankowski explained that the proposed connection ofT.H. ~47 and Sunwood Drive has been colntroversiaI in the T.H. //47 plan. He explained that when Amber Ridge was originally platted, a [esidential street was planned for Argon Street and 147th Avenue (the stub street west of Argon not aurrently connected to T.H. ~47). In the course of the T.H. ~!47. Corridor study, the consultant suggested that type of alignment would have negative aspects to it. He explained that this would involve the issue of having the expense of traffic signals at both 149th Avenue and 147th Avenue and could Uso encourage travel through residential areas. The two signals would also tend to decrease the trafffic flow along T.H. ~-47, relative to only one signal. Ramsey City Council and Planning Commission Joint Workshop/September 19, 1996 Page 3 of 5
