ACQUISITION OF EASEMENT FOR NON-MOTORIZED PATHWAY ON HAMLINE
AVENUE
Baldwin explained that in order to construct the proposed
non-motorized pathway in conjunction with the Hamline Avenue
improvements, it will be necessary to obtain easments from seven
property owners. Council discussed possible options as outlined
by Terry Maurer in his letter dated February 16, 1990, after
which Staff was directed to obtain the estimated value of the
land from the County Assessor's Office and arrange a meeting with
the property owners to discuss the pros and cons of donating the
land to the City, purchase by the City, or condemnation.
"NO U-TURN" SIGNS TO BE REMOVED FROM LARPENTEUR AVENUE AT ARONA
Wiessner explained that the "No U-Turn" signs at Larpenteur and
Arona are frequently violated and the police feel the problem is
the placement of the signs. The Engineers have reviewed the
matter and have determined that the signs could be removed unless
there is an overriding reason why the signs must remain. Council
authorized requesting Ramsey County to remove the signs at this
time and if a problem should arise in the future, the signs could
be re-installed.

related expenditures exceeding the $1,000 which could result in
