Chairperson Riley confirmed the City Engineer will request approval for parking on one side and <br /> bike lane on the other. He stated he preferred to restrict parking for a stretch of the road, but not <br /> the whole road. He also would like to avoid losing trees. <br /> Councilmember Shryock agreed the residents would like to keep the trees in that area. She <br /> suggested where the trees are that should be saved, no parking signs could be added. <br /> Civil Engineer II Linton stated he worked on the original Andrie Street feasibility study, and <br /> there is room to narrow it from its existing configuration. The option at that time was to put the <br /> sidewalk in and the study focused on narrowing the road for that. He offered to conduct more <br /> research. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked for clarification on how the width added up to 36 feet. He said he <br /> would prefer to narrow the street or have the no parking signs in the areas relative to saving <br /> trees. <br /> City Engineer Westby suggested staff look at this item by mid-June or July to research the <br /> answers. He said since the original recommendation stands with looking at parking on one side <br /> in select areas as an amendment, no motion is needed. <br /> 5.04: Recommend Revising Street Names from (East) Town Center Drive to Center <br /> Street, and from East/West Ramsey Parkway to Ramsey Parkway <br /> City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report. <br /> Councilmember Johns commented it would be good to simplify. Since the directional words in <br /> the names are not carried out throughout the City, this section of the City should be simplified. <br /> Chairperson Riley inquired what the name would be of the west side of the horseshoe. He said <br /> he is not sure the street will ever be constructed as originally planned. <br /> City Engineer Westby explained the Parkway continues to the south of Lake Ramsey. East <br /> Ramsey Parkway will go through that horseshoe and connect. He confirmed that road will not <br /> likely be built. <br /> Councilmember Shryock questioned why the signs have Street in the names, and the maps have <br /> Drive. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich answered it had to do with when the City was trying to rebrand, and <br /> the temporary name of the area was name of Town Center. Now staff would like to drop the <br /> word Town. <br /> Chairperson Riley pointed out half the signs have Center Street, so this won't be a large project. <br /> Public Works Committee/June 16, 2015 <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br />
