Motion to recommend to the City Council that a signal warrant study for the intersection be conducted, and that an analysis be prepared by MnDOT of how restricted left tums onto the highway could enhance safety. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee.

Case #9 Review Policy on Placement of Temporary Signs Background: This case was ratified at the June 22, 2004 City Council meeting.

In addition, the City controls all necessary right- of-way to enable this trail to be extended north of River Pines 5th Addition to Elmcrest Park with the exception of two parcels. At the January 13th, 2003 Council meeting staff was authorized to obtain appraisals for these three parcels.
