crossing so there are two avenues to the north. This meeting should be set up atler the first of the <br />year and after there has been conversation with Art Raudio and Rick Foster. <br /> <br />Case #3: <br /> <br />Anoka County Reports Traffic Signal Warrants Have Been Met for C.R. <br />#116 and Dysprosium <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski reported that the Anoka County Highway Department has sent the <br />results of a signal warrant study done on November 7, 1997, at the C.R. #116/Dysprosium- <br />Thurston intersection. The study indicates that the intersection is warranted for the installation of <br />traffic signals having met two of the ten applicable warrants. This intersection will be considered <br />along with 21 other County locations. He thought it likely that four or five of the warranted <br />intersections will be selected for signalization in 1998. It is most likely that intersections having <br />a history of accidents correctable by signalization will be selected. Although there have been <br />five accidents at this intersection in 1997, none have been categorized by the County as being <br />correctable by signalization. He suggested that the Council may want to argue that point. He <br />asked the Police Chief to pull accident reports. We have 16 reported accidents at that <br />intersection so he suggested that staff send a letter calling attention to the amount of accidents at <br />the intersection and asking them to reconsider installing a signal there in 1998. He continued <br />that a decision is expected in February. The City's share of the estimated $150,000 installation <br />cost would be $56,000. Also, the local municipality is responsible for the maintenance costs. <br />Since this is on the border with the City of Anoka, some further discussion will need to take <br />place on this issue. <br /> <br />The Committee was in agreement that a letter should be sent relating to the signalization of the <br />intersection of #116 and Dysprosium~Thurston and that conversation should be held with Anoka <br />with regard to their being responsible also for maintenance costs. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Consensus was to adjourn the meeting. <br /> <br />The regular meeting of the Road and Bridge Committee adjourned at 7:25 p.m. <br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> Jo T~ieling . ~ <br />k,.__~ele(uty City Clerk <br /> <br />~'iev~e Jankowsl~it// <br /> <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Road and Bridge Committee/December 16, 1997 <br /> Page 8 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
