1$ I am representing Falcon Oil Filling Station, and I am ATT. ENGELKE wondering if a left turn lane will cut off the entrance to the filling station? Wi11 the alley be left open? Which elan are you suggesting, alternate one or txo? There could be a temporary curb cut in the median to ANKLAN permit access to the alley, which will be open for a few years, or at least until Hamline and Larpenteur is upgraded. This could be possibly five to six years. I'm not suggesting any plan. The only difference be- tween the original plan. and the proposed alternates are the dropping of the two lanes, and it will retain the trees. The first we even knew of the Laroenteur - Hamline Avenue ROY R~ DEMARTINO Improvement, was when the men came to mark the trees for removal. You gentlemen went with me to a meetit~; of the Ramsey MAYOR WARKENTIEN County Board of Commissioners, and at that time the biggest concern seemed to be the elmination of the trees on the boulevard. I feel that the left turn lane is unnecessary, because WAGNER so few people make left turns even during the rush hour. The project is not based on local desisres, but basic traffic ANKLAN needs, with some consideration of adjacent property owners. What about the metro transit system? ROY The buses could activate the traffic signals from sixty to ANKLAN sixty-five feet away, load its passengers and move on. Who would pay this $60,000.00? ROY & DEMARTINO The County and possibly the municipalities if an agreement ANKLAN could be reached on funding. How much would changes cost between the two plans? ATT. ENGELKE Approximately $6,000.00 to $8,000.00 would be deducted if ANKLAN the median wasn't installed. Out of the $60,000.00, approx- imately $23,000.00 would be for the signal changes. The contractor would also have to be paid for his original contract, any changes made in the contract, and the delays incurred. Why couldn't the Council go back to the original plan? ATT. ENGELKE The Council requested the County to stop all work at th e ANfQ,AN intersection because of complaints from the people who live near the Larpenteur - Hamline Avenue intersection. ~pw the Ramsey County Engineering Department has proposed two al- ternatives for the Falcon Heights Village Council and the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners to consider and after their determination, the County will seek state and federal funding for this project with these changes. Did Roseville approve the alternate plans? ATT. ENGELKE
