COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT <br />6.01: Receive Updates on Improvement Projects, Studies, and Items of Interest <br />City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby provided updates on current and proposed <br />City, County and MnDOT improvement projects, studies, and other items of interest. <br />Chairperson Riley asked and received confirmation that there has been discussion with the youth <br />sports associations and related to events in attempt to avoid conflicts with the Central Park parking <br />lot project. <br />Assistant City Engineer Feriancek provided additional details on the status of road improvement <br />projects. <br />Councilmember Musgrove noted that she would be interested in an entrance sign that identifies <br />Ramsey as part of the gateway project, both corning from Anoka and Elk River. <br />City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby stated that there are City limit signs for <br />Ramsey along Highway 10 with the population. <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented that she would be interested in larger highway signs, <br />similar to what exists for Elk River on Highway 10. <br />Chairperson Riley agreed that this would be a good time to make these wants known as the project <br />continues to move forward. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff noted a bridge in Dayton that has City of Dayton etched into the <br />bridge over the highway and stated that would be nice to incorporate as well. <br />Chairperson Riley stated that Anoka made that request for their project and the cost to do so was <br />made known at that time, noting that Ramsey then decided to move forward with the Armstrong <br />interchange design. <br />City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby replied that there will be an upcoming <br />discussion about bridge and other aesthetic elements for the Ramsey Gateway Improvements and <br />that could be part of the discussion. <br />Parks Superintendent/Interim Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood provided additional <br />information on the desire for blue highway wayfinding signs for businesses and agreed that signage <br />should be a part of the gateway discussion. He noted that those wayfinding signs could better <br />identify businesses before the appropriate exits. <br />Public Works Committee / September 20, 2022 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />
