City Engineer Westby confirmed that an additional light could be added at the crossing if that is <br /> the direction of the Committee. <br /> He then discussed the purpose and proposed lighting plans for the Riverdale Drive project which <br /> includes 27 street lights and 27 pedestrian trail lights to ensure there are no long stretches of dark <br /> spots along the trails. He advised that the cost for this project would be funded through the street <br /> lighting fund. <br /> Chairperson Riley stated he would support the least number of lights that gets the job done, <br /> which appears to be what staff has proposed. <br /> Motion by Chairperson Riley, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to recommend that the City <br /> Council approve the Public Works Committee's preferred lighting system for Center Street <br /> including opposing lights between Sunwood Drive and l45 ' Avenue, tall street lights at each <br /> corner of the intersection of Center Street and l45 ' Avenue, and adding a light for the Center <br /> Street pedestrian crossing at Ramsey Parkway, and as proposed by staff for Riverdale Drive. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Johns and Shryock.
