A roll call vote was performed: <br /> Councilmember Howell aye <br /> Councilmember Olson aye <br /> Chairperson Musgrove aye <br /> Motion carried. <br /> 5.02: Consider Recommendation to City Council to Request Proposals for Intersection <br /> Control Evaluations for Riverstone North <br /> City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby reviewed the staff report and recommendation to <br /> recommend City Council approval to request proposals for Intersection Control Evaluations for <br /> Riverstone North. <br /> Councilmember Olson asked if there an estimated length of time for the outside consultant to <br /> complete their evaluations. <br /> City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby replied that they would request the work to be turned <br /> around within one month. He noted that this would be much faster than staff would be able to <br /> complete this. He noted that in total it could be two months before the data is back for review <br /> from a consultant, where it could be in excess of five months if staff were to try to do the work. <br /> Chairperson Musgrove commented that she does see the value in having an outside consultant do <br /> this work in order to get accurate counts. She stated that she would also like the no change option <br /> to be included in the proposal. <br /> City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby agreed that collecting all the data at once will <br /> provide a truer picture. He stated that doing nothing is always an option in a study. <br /> Councilmember Olson stated that perhaps a less obtrusive answer would be to find the more <br /> traveled directions and use a yield for those directions with stop signs at the other directions. <br /> City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby commented that there are very few yield signs in <br /> Ramsey, noting that is something Ramsey has shied away from historically. He noted that the <br /> consultant could provide that recommendation. <br /> Chairperson Musgrove stated that input from public safety on accidents and which direction they <br /> are coming from could be helpful. <br /> City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby confirmed that data is collected for the study. He <br /> stated that this action would just be to go out for RFPs. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Olson, seconded by Councilmember Howell, to recommend City <br /> Council approval to request proposals for Intersection Control Evaluations for Riverstone North. <br /> Public Works Committee/May 21, 2024 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
