Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Janice Peterka - 7561 152nd Lane - Inquired as to where the resolution goes <br />from here and how long will it be before Ramsey gets some answers. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley replied that the resolution will be delivered to the Anoka <br />County Board and the Anoka County Engineer; the County Engineer will <br />request that a safety investigation be completed by the State of Minnesota. <br />Ramsey should expect some kind of response within 30 days. Whether <br />improvements are to be made and when depends on the results of the <br />investigtion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that Council shares the concern for safety; <br />Council urged the County to make improvements to Cry. Rd. #56 to make it <br />safer and is urging for improvements to Cry. Rd. #83 for the same reason. <br />Parents can help by impressing the importance of bicycle safety on their <br />children. Councilmember Cox noted that Ramsey's efforts to have the speed <br />limit reduced on 167th failed because it is an MSA street yet when you <br />arrive in Anoka, the speed limit is reduced to 30 mph. Councilmember Cox <br />stated that Ramsey's children are just as valuable as Anoka's and Ramsey is <br />a growing community with increased population and traffic; attempts should <br />again be made to have that speed limit reduced. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg <br />directing that City Staff proceed to get another speed study done on 167th <br />and study the possibility of removing the north/south stop sign at the <br />intersection of Cry. Rd. #116 and Sunfish Lake Blvd. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember DeLuca noted that removing the stop sign <br />at Cry. Rd. #116 and Sunfish would cause problems with rush hour traffic <br />from Mate Punch and Die and Altron. Councilmember Cox noted that the <br />motion was to only study the possibility of removing the north/south stop <br />signs. Mr. Mevissen stated that it takes a resolution to have a speed <br />study done. Mr. Hartley stated that he will prepare a resolution for <br />Special City Council/April 14, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
