Councilmember Dehen commented this is basically an opening surrounded by a concrete wall that is the same height as the whole parl(ing structure. The only concern he would have is how someone would be found if they were to fall in. He would suggest a grate be installed or some plywood with bracing. Chairperson Elvig suggested the possibility of a panic bar being installed on the door. Consensus of the Committee was to direct staff to pursue the costs of a panic bar being installed on the door and the installation of a grate cover. COMMITTEE INPUT Lighting and Signage at Municipal Ramp Chairperson Elvig directed staff to lool( into the amount of lights necessary at the municipal parl(ing ramp at night, and to ensure that the signage is in good condition. Councilmember Dehen suggested the possibility of barricading the upper levels of the ramp to keep traffic on the lower levels in order to eliminate the need to light the upper levels until the ramp begins filling up. l57th Lane and Ramsey Boulevard Feasibility Study Informational Meeting City Engineer Jankowsl(i announced an informational meeting is scheduled for the l57th Lane and Ramsey Boulevard feasibility studies on Thursday, March 22nd from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Alexander Ramsey Room.
