Mr. Jankowski: If it follows the pattern, you are at least five years away. <br /> <br />Resident: Asked about counting cars on County Road//5. <br /> <br />Mr. Eyler: We have been working with the State to do a section up to C.R. #5. We are getting <br />information to justify signals at 5 and 147th. There is a certain amount of dollars allocated for the <br />project. We hope MnDOT will make a decision in January about funding. Projects compete <br />against one another. That project could start as early as July 1997. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski: One of the things that have come out of this corridor study is support for that <br />segment of road by developers and residents. People are interested in seeing that improvement. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman: Highway #47 is a State highway. You could have a Council that <br />doesn't care, but we are concerned. We hope to get the stretch from 143rd to C.R. #5 done for <br />1.3 million dollars. We cannot do it ail at once because it's too expensive. We are committed to <br />getting a safer highway. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski: We do take into consideration the accident history. <br /> <br />Mr. Eyler: Initially, MnDOT was reluctant, but now they have turn lanes, overlay and are re-doing <br />bridges for the north end by 1999. <br /> <br />Resident: What if they signalize 149th? <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski: The curb would not come back any further - a 12-foot turn lane and by-pass lane. <br />About the signal - it's tough to determine what the gaps will be. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman: What is the cost of temporary signals? <br /> <br />Mr. Eyler: About $60,000. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued relating to the inefficiency of the lights at #116 and 4/47. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman: This is still a study but the City Council will want to adopt a plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski: This is to use when a developer comes in to see if he's in compliance. It's a <br />vision-lng process. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman: We are looking at the program but, continue your lives as they are. <br />Mr. Jankowski: Do not go looking for apartments and putting your houses up for sale. <br /> <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br /> The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />/Jd Thieling_ v x. /~ <br />t-~Recording Secretary ~ <br /> <br /> Neighborhood <br /> <br />gt&% Janko~jgki <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Meeting/149/47/August 1, 1996 <br /> Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
