Hanson <br />In response to an accident at the intersection of Valento Lane and Allen Avenue, the <br />Ramsey County Sheriff's Department has evaluated traffic control measures at this <br />intersection as well as the intersections of Thunder Bay & Allen Avenue and Ontario <br />Road & Allen Avenue. (See email from Deputy Scott Nelson attached.) <br />It is the Sheriff's Department's recommendation that existing yield signs at all three <br />intersections be replaced with stop signs, stopping north and south bound traffic at all <br />three intersections. <br />Council has discretion relative to traffic controls at these intersections. Options available <br />to the Council are as follows: <br />• Maintain existing traffic controls; <br />• Adopt recommendation of Sheriff's Department; <br />• Refer the matter to the Public Works Superintendent and City Engineer for <br />additional study; <br />• Survey the neighborhoods impacted. <br />
