MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 24, 1996 sidewalk along the north side of Little Canada Road. Morelan pointed out that the County has suggested a crosswalk on McMenemy between the City's parking lot and the church. Morelan noted that there is no good place to cross Little Canada Road short of crossing at Centerville Road, which is a very busy intersection. Jane Streicker reported that last summer her family enjoyed Gervais Mill Park and would like to again this summer. However, it is very dangerous to cross Little Canada Road because the street is so busy. Scalze pointed out the paved shoulder along Little Canada Road, and suggested that a crosswalk be painted at Noel Drive. Morelan stated that he did not support an all-way stop at Little Canada Road and McMenemy, and agreed that a crosswalk at Little Canada Road and Noel Drive made sense. Fahey agreed that Little Canada Road to Noel Drive is the route the City should encourage for accessing Gervais Mill Park. Fahey suggested that the County be requested to paint a crosswalk in this location. Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 96-4-100 - REQUESTING RAMSEY COUNTY TO PAINT A CROSSWALK ON LITTLE CANADA ROAD AT NOEL DRIVE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Morelan. Ayes (5) Scalze, Morelan, Fahey, LaValle, Pedersen. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Helgeson suggested that if an all-way stop is not installed at the Little Canada Road/McMenemy Road intersection, that the City look for a way to slow traffic on Little Canada Road. Fahey pointed out that the speed limit on Little Canada Road east of the freeway is 30 miles per hour. Fahey was not sure there were adequate speed limit signs along Little Canada Road, and suggested that the County be asked to look at that. LaValle asked that the City Administrator obtain the recent speed report from the Sheriff's Department Smart 15
