A roll call vote was performed: <br />Councilmember Howell <br />aye <br />Councilmember Olson <br />aye <br />Chairperson Musgrove <br />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 />
