195 Mr. Mood advised people were disregarding the "No 'thoroughfare" sign on the Snelling Avenue Service brive. Attorney Graham advised you can't stop people from using public streets and that "No Thoroughfare" signs were put up to warn people that there may be delays such as "Stop Signs" on such streets and that it did keep some traffic off because people in a hurry usually took the main streets. Mr. Hood stated that "Stop Sign" was being ignored. Mayor Nilsen advised we would instruct the policemen to watch it closely and issue tickets. The need for a "Stop Sign" at the North alley going East out of Hollywood Court was discussed. The Deputy Clerk was advised to order one placed there by the County. Mr. Kuether, 1607 Hollywood Court, said he understood the sewers had to be connected by October 1st, 1961; he didn't need the connection, and asked what happened if they didn't connect. He was advised Ordinance 47 provides a penalty of a X100.00 fine or imprisonment in the County Jail for a beriod not to ex- ceed 90 days. Nilsen advised that the Metropolitan Planning Commission recently published another bulletin pointing out the seriousness of water polution and that the Council feels allowing cesspools where public sewer is available is contrary to all Public Health ` measures inasmuch as the contamination from cess pools gets into the water stream and travels for miles. Traffic Wm. F3rown, 1808 Asbury, was present and asked if a traffic survey was being taken in the Village. Bonestroo advised the Village will be required to make a traffic study for State Aid Funds. Brown expressed the opinion that Garden was carrying an unusually heavy amount of traffic considering the surroundings and asked if there wasn't some means of diverting some of it in the interest of protecting the children who used it. Bonestroo advised that, after a study, the Village could make recommendations to Chenoweth, but that the decision would be up to Chenoweth, Traffic Safety Engineer, Ramsey County. Brown advised he would be glad to help any way he could. Nilsen suggested that Brown try to sell his neighbors on the installation of sidewalks on Garden as a Safety Measure for the children going to school. State Aid Otto Bonestroo introduced Brad Limberg to the Council and advised Funds Limberg was working on the State Aid set up. Limberg advised: We have to lay out a system of streets - go through the entire Village, get the total mileage, excluding County State Aid Roads and State Highways. We have about 1!t miles of streets; 3.82 miles County State Aid Roads; Larpenteur, Cleveland, part of Fairview and a short piece of Hamline. County roads, Fulham, Roselawn and Garden. Hoyt is maintained by the City. We have a percentage factor of 20~ which they will allow us to put on State A.id. We come up with a total of 2.05 miles on watch we will receive an allowance for maintenance each year and will also receive an allowance of 9k2.17 per person, a little over ten thousand dollars, we would receive toward any streets we would designate as State Aid Streets. Also maintenance which we have to determine. We make a needs study based on width, base, surface, lighting, etc.
