Mayor Garnet replied that in his opinion he does not think the speed humps have made that <br />much of a difference. The studies that have been done in the area have shown that traffic has not <br />slowed down much and he thinks that walkways should be placed on both sides of Dysprosium. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that Staff met with the County in regards to the stop signs <br />being installed at the intersection of Dysprosium and C.R. #116 and the understanding is that the <br />County Public Works Committee is requesting that the speed humps be removed if the stop signs <br />are installed. He noted that he would be willing to give up the speed humps in favor of the stop <br />signs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman replied that he personally does not live on Dysprosium and thinks <br />the residents should be questioned in regards to the speed humps. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated that she is concerned that the traffic on Dysprosium might <br />increase in the future and is interested in what the residents in the area would have to say. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman explained that the motion by the County Public Works Committee <br />was to install the stop signs contingent upon the speed humps being removed on Dysprosium. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired about the possibility of placing a stop sign in the middle of Dysprosium <br />to slow traffic and remove the speed humps. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that the intersection warrants signilization, and he is frustrated <br />that the County Public Works Committee would be so arrogant to risk someone being killed in <br />the intersection in order to have the speed humps removed. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that placing a stop sign in the middle of Dysprosium would <br />discourage people from using the collector streets to get to the main roads. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen questioned why a Commissioner who represents the Ramsey area <br />would hold the City hostage to get an improvement that is desperately needed. He stated that all <br />telephone calls in regards to the situation should be directed to Commissioner Berg so that he is <br />made aware that he is not representing the wishes of the citizens. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly suggested that Commissioner Berg be invited to the next Council <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Connolly, seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen, to direct Staff to <br />formally invite Commissioner Berg to the next Council meeting to discuss the issue of speed <br />humps on Dysprosium Street. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Anderson, Hendriksen, Connolly, <br />and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />City Council/November 9, 1999 <br /> Page 15 of 16 <br /> <br /> <br />
