City Engineer Olsou noted that if there is a significant number of accidents (five accidents in one <br />year) the warrants would decrease to 70 percent. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmennan inquired as to what the cost to the City of Ramsey is at this point <br />and if lights were put in the future what would the cost to the City be. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that it is the State's policy that each organization picks up a <br />percentage of the cost according to the number of legs they have at an intersection. Currently, <br />the City would be able to receive 80 percent funding, otherwise they could expect a cost of <br />$120,000 to $130,000. Mr. Jankowski noted that previous direction of the Council was to <br />consider some type of island being constructed at the intersection, but if that is done they will <br />never be able to meet the warrants for signalization. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired as to how long the 80 percent funding would be available. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the 80 percent funding would be available as long as the <br />project is left open and they could probably leave the project open for another 12 months. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if the owners of Rivers Bend had completed their traffic <br />study. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that he had fo~wvarded the names of consultants to them, but has <br />not heard anything back. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmennan stated that prior to any decision being made on that intersection he <br />would like to take comments from the business owners. <br /> <br />Councihnember Anderson inquired if staff has had a chance to talk to the owner of the apartment <br />building regarding the extension of C.R. #116. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied no. <br /> <br />Councihnember Anderson inquired if staff was aware of what the traffic patterns were going to <br />be on the Anoka site that is being developed at the intersection of T.H. #47 and C.R. #116. <br /> <br />City Eugineer Olson replied that he had only briefly seen the site plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zinnnerman requested that staff get the MnDOT report on the development. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was to wait on making any decision regarding 142'~d Avenue until they <br />receive input fi'om the business owners. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/May 15, 2001 <br /> Page 4 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
