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.
