Motion carried. <br />Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Olson, 1831 Asbury Avenue, and Mr. <br />and Mrs. Tiichael Trucano, 1816 Asbury Avenue, were <br />present to discuss the traffic problem that they <br />stated exists on Asbury Avenue at Ruggles. They <br />stated that there are quite a f ew small children <br />living in the area and that the traffic problem is a <br />hazard to them. They stated that a stop sign placed <br />on Asbury at Ruggles would slow the traffic down. <br />Engineer Lemberg stated that a "Slow-Children" sign <br />might not help because most people driving down a <br />residential street should expect that there might be <br />same small children in the area, and adjust their <br />speeds accordingly. A problem on the corner of <br />Ruggles and Asbury where there is quite a bit of <br />foliage and trees making it a blind corner was <br />also discussed. <br />Engineer Lemberg stated that a stop sign would not <br />necessarily make the people slow down. They would <br />stop for the sign but could pick up speed very <br />quickly. He also stated that a "Slow-Children" sign <br />is an illegal sign in the sense that it does not <br />regulate traffic. He stated that a study of the <br />intersection could be made which trould include a <br />traffic count, a visual survey, and frequent checks <br />by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department. Engineer <br />Lemberg was directed to check into the intersection <br />of Asbury and Ruggles and determine whether it is <br />a traffic hazard. <br />Councilman Ecklund introduced the following Resolution <br />and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTIOtd 73-31 <br />A RESOLUTIO"d APPROVIAIG THE RECOMME"1DATI01`dS BY THE <br />RAP4SEY COUT'dTY HIGHL~AY DEPART?~~PdT TO BART PARKIT'1G 0?~T <br />HAMLPTE AVEP?~TE FROPi i~60 FEET SOUTH OF LARPE?~ITETTR <br />AVErRrr TO ~1T3 FEET NORTH OF LARPETJTEUR AVErRTE <br />Councilwoman Stocker seconded the foregoing Resolution, <br />and upon a vote being taken thereon, the following <br />voted in favor thereof : Councilmen Black, Ecklund, <br />and Stone, and Councilwoman Stocker.
