There are ten intersections on this section of <br />roadway, nine of which are "T" style intersections. All of these intersections are controlled by <br />stop signs placed on the roads intersecting 153rd Avenue N.W. Also there are two entrances cut <br />into the curb on the north side of 153rd Avenue N.W., one at Waco Street N.W. and the other at <br />Yakima Street N.W. Both of these entrances lead into a vacant lot at this time. He advised it <br />would be Staff's recommendation that the signage remain as is on this section of roadway. This <br />recommendation is based on the fact that all of the intersections are controlled by stop signs. If <br />the entrances on the north side, mentioned above, are a source of confusion they could be signed <br />using 18"x 18" reflectors. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly requested that reflector signs be installed at the "T" intersection to <br />warn drivers on Waco Street who are currently ignoring the signage. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Public Works Committee was to direct staff to install the reflector signs as <br />discussed. <br /> <br />Chairperson Zimmerman asked about signage at 153rd Avenue N.W. and County Road #56 <br />where a fatality accident recently occurred. He asked that this issue be discussed during the <br />accident discussion under Committee/Staff Input. <br /> <br />Case #2: Consider Placement of 2000 Priority Street Lights <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski noted that since 1992, the City of Ramsey has been operating a Street <br />Lighting System. He explained that since the budget of last year was overspent by installing 18 <br />lights, he would recommend the installation of 13 lights in Year 2000. City Engineer Jankowski <br />presented the Priority Street Lighting System which is comprised of street lights located along <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/July 18, 2000 <br /> Page 2 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
