MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 24, 1995 Residents noted that there are usually school buses backed up at that intersection. The Administrator suggested that there may be another opportunity to look at this issue again. That is when the State turns back Rice Street to the County. Morelan stated that he had no doubt that a traffic light at Demont and Rice Street would help, but pointed out that the cost was an issue. Fahey stated that he would like more information on the matter. Fahey asked if the State's position on the stop light was due to its cost or because the State felt the light would not help. The Administrator reported that he will provide the Mayor and Council with a copy of the State's report on the matter. He also noted that cost wasn't the determining factor. The State has standards by which they evaluate the placement of lights and this intersection did not meet these. one resident of the area indicated that there are a lot of children coming out of driveways onto old County Road C. That resident stated that the street is not a place for children to play. The resident also suggested that the Jackson Street trail should have be extended to Tom Thumb. There is currently no place along the street for people to walk. Mr. Engebretson reported that there are a lot of semi's and delivery trucks driving through the area to get to the condos. Engebretson asked if these trucks could be prohibited. Scalze suggested that weight limitations could be posted on the street. Morelan pointed out that he lives in the area and has not seen semi's on the street.
