Councilmember Tossey confirmed the original plan was a cul -de -sac, when staff approached Council and pointed out there was no alternate route It is a public safety reason to put the alternate route in, to be used, for example, when there is an accident on Highway 10. Ms. Brock stated he heard on the morning news that the City of Ramsey is going to add on to the parking ramp at a cost of $14 million dollars. She questioned how the taxpayers would pay for this with the economy as it is. Mayor Ramsey noted the City received a grant for the expansion. With the train stop coming to Ramsey, the expansion was needed. There is no impact on the tax levy for either of these projects. Mr. Zaetsch noted County Commissioner Look had given him a written statement indicating a possibly 4 -way stop may be installed on Armstrong and Alpine, and possibly one at the Central Park intersection. He urged the Council to consider lights and suggested the Council discuss this item with Commissioner Look. Mayor Ramsey responded the Council has addressed the intersections mentioned. He noted they have requested the County consider the intersection at Central Park, as this is on a County Road. This intersection did not meet their warrants for a stop sign. He noted the intersection at Alpine and Armstrong may meet the criteria, and this will be the County's decision. Mayor Ramsey requested the Consent Agenda be acted on prior to the Approval of the.
