~~ <br />Joan Helin, 1755 Arona, stated she felt Falcon Heights does not AP~ON~~ <br />need to give Arona any more maintenance than is being done and CONTINUED <br />that her main concern is for her children. <br />Bruce Rushton, 11169 California, asked about the storm sewer sub- <br />district, and the basis for establishing the storm sewer. <br />Engineer Lemberg stated it is the area that drains to Arona Avenue <br />and explained the drainage system in detail. <br />Bruce Rushton stated approximately nine months ago on Arona he <br />nearly had a close call when a child on a bicycle hit a pothole <br />and fell. He felt that something should be done. <br />Mayor Warkentien asked Mrs. He1in if she would be in favor of <br />sidewalks. <br />Joan He1in replied no; she is in favor of leaving the street as <br />it is. <br /> Bob Talland, 1530 West Iowa, felt at the last meeting the people <br /> were not in favor of widening the street at all. He felt that <br /> widening and upgrading the street from Larpenteur to Hoyt would <br /> result in a safety hazard for children. <br /> Ray Schommer, 7.11.97 1rJest Idaho, stated in the 33 years hers lived here, <br /> he feels the City has done a terrific job on maintenance. How- <br /> ever, he would like to see a stop sign installed to decrease traffic <br /> at Idaho and Arona, if widened. <br /> Engineer Lemberg replied that under State Law, a stop sign must be <br /> installed to control traffic, rather than the speed of the traffic, <br /> and that traffic speed is a police problem. He stated traffic signs <br /> must be placed to permit the heavier traffic to go through and, in <br /> this case, it would be on the wrong side of the street. <br />Vincent Landis stated he felt Crawford and Arona were being widened <br />for the Municipal Liquor Store business. He suggested that Crawford <br />be made all one width as between Arona and Pascal. <br />Engineer Lemberg then stated in order to use State Aid f~7nds, Falcon <br />Heights must follow the Status criteria, with a minimum of 36 feet, <br />otherwise someone would have +,; ~^~;~ for it. <br />Jim L=~11Anthir~e, 15C2 West California, stated he wants to keep <br />t_he traffic on Snelling and Larpenteur, and felt triat Arona needs , <br />r~o impreven•_onts. He then asked why all of tkie st•,orm sewer costs ~' <br />cannot be paid with State Aid funds and asked that an ®stimate <br />be given on assessments. <br />i <br />
