issue had to do with stop signs. He suggested placing a stop sign at 149th Avenue and Waco <br />Street to see how it works. <br /> <br />Ms. Ward stated that she thinks that stop signs are needed at 149t~ Avenue and 150th Avenue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if Ms. Ward was suggesting an all-way stop at 150th <br />Avenue. <br /> <br />Ms. Ward replied yes. <br /> <br />Councilmcmber Hendriksen inquired as to what traffic controls currently exist along Waco <br />Street. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski reviewed the existing traffic controls. <br /> <br />Pat Posterick, 14930 Waco Street NW, Ramsey, stated that the video recommended using stop <br />signs where vision is obstructed and at the intersection of 149th Avenue and Waco Street there is <br />a visibility problem. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated that the visibility concerns at 149th Avenue and Waco Street would <br />probably support the need for a stop sign at that intersection. He did not recommend placing a <br />stop sign at 150t~' Avenue because Waco Street is an MSA road and with the crosswalk being <br />painted people are required to stop if there are people in the crosswalk. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if signs will be installed to identify the crosswalk. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson replied yes, as well as advanced warning signs. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would like to push traffic to T.H. #47 and that is why he would <br />recommend a three-way stop sign at 142"a Avenue and Waco Street. <br /> <br />Ms. Ward inquired if it was possible to install a sign at the crosswalk that stated cars must stop <br />for people in the crosswalk. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson replied that St. Paul has a break-away sign in the middle of the road which <br />states that it is required by law to stop if there is someone in the crosswalk. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman requested that staff look into those signs as an option. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen, to recommend that the City <br />Council authorize the installation of stop signs at 149th Avenue and Waco Street and 142nd <br />Avenue and Waco Street. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/June 18, 2001 <br /> Page 4 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
