MAY 1991, VOLUME 6, NO.5 RAMSEY LIONS COMMUNITY PICNIC ') ---- -- Ail Ramsey residents are invited to a FREE picnic on Saturday, June 8, 1991. The event is sponsored by the Ramsey Lions Club as a thank you for supporting their many fund raising projects. A picnic this size requires help from many people and organizations and involves the RYAA, Ramsey Fire Department, Ramsey Fire Auxiliary, and Ramsey PTA. The picnic hours are from 3 to 9 p.m. and every Ramsey family can register for a free meal, door prizes, entertainment, kiddie rides, games, and demonstrations. Extra food can be purchased for 25 cents per additional item. Entertainment this year will feature a rescue demonstration by the Ramsey Fire Department (4- 5 p.m.), the Wizard of Ah's (4:30-5:30 p.m.) and the North Suburban Community Bank (6 -7 p.m.). Games will include a huge Bingo tent, special games for the children, and kiddie carnival rides from 4:30-8:30 p.m. Athletic activities include the mile run (3-4 p.m.), softball and soccer games during the afternoon, and the City versus Country softball game (7:30 p.m.) You will also see a special display by the Ramsey Fire Department using a small house to train children on proper fire escape procedures. Set this date aside on your calendar and join the fun of a Ramsey Lions Community Picnic at Central Park (161 st and Armstrong Blvd.) Signals al Counly Road 116 and Highway 47 10 be Relimed Last November when the County Road 116 bridge was opened, signals were installed at the intersection of County Road 116 and Highway 47. The initial signal timing has caused delays for motorists, particularly at peak travel periods. The Golden Valley office of Minnesota DOT has informed the City that it intends to retime the signals to alleviate the delay problem. The new timing will create these district cycle phases. One phase will allow northbound Highway 47 traffic to proceed while holding southbound Highway 47 traffic, while the second phase will conversely allow southbound Highway 47 to proceed while holding northbound traffic. The third phase will hold all Highway 47 traffic and allow County Road 116 to proceed in both directions as it does at the present time. The timing change is expected to be completed before the end of May. Minnesota DOT has also indicated that they are contemplating additional lanes by 1991 which will allow for the more traditional two phase timing with left lanes being accommodated with a dedicated turn lane and signal. Motorists are reminded that until the signal timing is changed they should refrain from proceeding straight through the intersection from the right turn only lane. This movement is both illegal and hazardous. SANDBURG COMMUNITY SCHOOL News from Sandburg Community School!
