MINUTES <br />OCTOBER 10, 1990 <br />PAGE 2 <br />DISCUSSIOIJ - REQUEST TO LOWER SPEED LIMIT ON LARPENTEUR AVENUE, <br />CLEVELAND TO FULHAM <br />Council addressed a request from Thor Kommedahl on behalf of the <br />1666 Condominium Association that the speed limit on Larpenteur <br />Avenue, Cleveland to Fulham, be reduced from 40 to 30 miles per <br />hour for the safety of persons crossing the street to play golf, <br />etc. Ciernia commented on the fact that the street was built to <br />move traffic and stated he was uncomfortable with requesting <br />Ramsey County to reduce the speed on their street as it would <br />seem the Council was endorsing the reduction. A discussion <br />ensued regarding the County's rationale for the various speeds <br />on Larpenteur, the effect on traffic if the speed limit is <br />lowered, other possible methods of providing pedestrian safety <br />and accident history in the area. Council directed staff to <br />request that Ramsey County address the items discussed without <br />giving the impression that the Council endorses the change as <br />requested by Mr. Kommedahl. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The meeting was adjourned at 7:57 P.M. <br />- _ <br />Tom Baldwin, Mayor <br />ATTEST: <br />;' / ~~ <br />,~l~G,.~k'L/ate :~%~ ~'~k~~ <br />_~ ~~ <br />Shirley Chenoweth, City Clerk <br />~g <br />
