Ms. Bersaw moved to the west end noting that there are still unknowns for the future of the west <br /> end area, which will not be answered during this study time because of changes in both Anoka <br /> and Elk River. <br /> Mr. Tillman introduced and reviewed the potential concepts for the west end area. <br /> Ms. Bersaw stated that perhaps the west end concepts are a phased approach because they are on <br /> a lowest cost range and would be dependent upon what happens with the improvements in Elk <br /> River and Anoka. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that she does like the idea that similar movements would be <br /> timed together with the stoplights, rather than having separate timing for each stoplight. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that he is overwhelmed that this would be an additional piece of work <br /> that the City would need to attach to; the previous thought was from Sunfish to Armstrong. He <br /> was appreciative in the desire to be more proactive between Armstrong and Elk River, but would <br /> find it hard to commit to a plan for that area. He acknowledged that intersections like Alpine and <br /> Jarvis are not safe and therefore mitigation efforts would be appreciative. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma agreed that Alpine and Jarvis are dangerous intersections but was unsure <br /> that traffic is that heavy at this time. He stated that perhaps this is planned without signals, and <br /> additional improvements can be added in the future as needed. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that he would like to rethink if a different plan may work for the <br /> weigh station and roadside rest, as those elements may no longer be needed and could drive <br /> different answers. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill acknowledged that there would be additional work <br /> needed in this area with alternative options. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove agreed that it is important to keep this portion included in the study <br /> because of the large housing development that was added near the Alpine intersection. <br /> Planning Commissioner Bruce Anderson stated that he believed that the purpose is to remove all <br /> the stoplights on Highway 10. He provided an example used in Baxter. <br /> Ms. Bersaw reviewed the proposed timeline which includes public input meetings. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich cautioned against planning public meetings for the week of spring <br /> break for the school district. <br /> 3.
