DISCUSSIOIJ - REQUEST TO LOWER SPEED LIMIT ON LARPENTEUR AVENUE,
CLEVELAND TO FULHAM
Council addressed a request from Thor Kommedahl on behalf of the
1666 Condominium Association that the speed limit on Larpenteur
Avenue, Cleveland to Fulham, be reduced from 40 to 30 miles per
hour for the safety of persons crossing the street to play golf,
etc. Ciernia commented on the fact that the street was built to
move traffic and stated he was uncomfortable with requesting
Ramsey County to reduce the speed on their street as it would
seem the Council was endorsing the reduction. A discussion
ensued regarding the County's rationale for the various speeds
on Larpenteur, the effect on traffic if the speed limit is
lowered, other possible methods of providing pedestrian safety
and accident history in the area. Council directed staff to
request that Ramsey County address the items discussed without
giving the impression that the Council endorses the change as
requested by Mr. Kommedahl.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 7:57 P.M.
