• POLICY H4 <br />12/10/03 <br />ITEM: Establishment of NE Quadrant Traffic Task Force <br />SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator <br />REVIEWED BY: Planning Commission <br />EXPLANATION: <br />Summary: In mid-2003, during the public hearing on the new Dino's restaurant site plan, <br />several neighbors in the Crawford/Arona area expressed concern about the amount of cut- <br />through traffic and the speed of that traffic on local, residential streets. At that time, the Planning <br />Commission suggested that a task force be developed to meet, discuss and research these issues. <br />Staff mailed out an invitation to residents in the NE Quadrant on July 16, soliciting members for <br />the task force. We received responses from the following residents and business owners in the <br />area interested in serving on the Task Force: <br />Nina Semmelroth <br />. Jeanette Pasek <br />Doug Bossard <br />Don Sobania <br />Cap Hanson <br />Wendy Noble <br />Thomas McClellan <br />Rachel Berger <br />Jason Adamidis (representing Dinos) <br />Staff will make a brief presentation tonight to the Council regarding growth, congestion, and <br />transportation issues. The powerpoint was graciously provided by the Metropolitan Council's <br />Regional Administrator, Tom Weaver, and will be shown at the first task force meeting on <br />December 16th. After the first meeting, staff will report back to the Council on the Task Force's <br />recommendations for moving forward, and establishing a policy to guide future requests for <br />traffic studies. <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />~ Establishment of the NE Quadrant Traffic Task Force, and endorsement of the roster <br />• <br />19 <br />
