researching whether trees at 153rd and Hwy. #47 are in the right-of-way. <br />Councilmember Cox stated that he recalls seeing correspondence from the <br />City to the State regarding 153rd and #47. Mr. Hartley stated that he will <br />confirm action being taken regarding 153rd and #47 . <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Sorteberg, Cox, <br />DeLuca and Pearson. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #18: Discuss 167th Avenue NW Speed Zoning: <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that according to Mr. Raatikka, MN/DoT has reviewed <br />167th and indicated that there is not a substantial need to change the <br />speed limit there; they are willing to install intersection signing on Hwy. <br />#47 approaching 167th; they recommend Ramsey installing 'stop ahead' signs <br />on 167th Avenue. MN/DoT also suggested having the golf course parking lot <br />align with the intersection of 167th and #47, moving the power pole to the <br />north of the golf course parking lot and adding street lights. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox noted that there is a high concentration of activity in <br />the area of the golf course and shopping center and MN/DoT's review of the <br />area was not done during peak traffic hours. Councilmember Cox stated that <br />Ramsey should not be satisfied with MN/DoT's recommendation; there is a <br />tremendous amount of non-vehicular traffic on 167th; the State lowers speed <br />limits on thoroughfares passing through cities with much less population <br />than Ramsey. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley noted that Ramsey has County roads with shoulders intended for <br />use by non-vehicular traffic but wide enough to encourage use by vehicular <br />traffic; the City needs to develop a plan for pedestrian safety. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca directing <br />City Staff to take the necessary steps to have the State install <br />intersection signing on Hwy. #47; the City install 'stop ahead' signing on <br />167th Avenue, moving the power pole at 167th and Hwy. #47 to the north and <br />installing street lights. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Sorteberg, Cox, <br />DeLuca and Pearson. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca directing <br />that City Staff continue to press MN/DoT for a reduced speed limit on 167th <br />Avenue NW between Cty. Rd. #5 and Hwy. #47. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember DeLuca directed that MN/DoT be requested <br />to do a speed study of 167th between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and §:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Sorteberg, Cox, <br />DeLuca and Pearson. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #19: <br /> <br />Request For Confidentiality For Revolving Loan Application <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that the Economic Development Company deals with CDBG <br /> City Council/July 28, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 20 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
