515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Greg Schroeder, Public Works Director <br />DATE: June 18, 1999 <br />RE: Truck Traffic Restriction on LaBore Road <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Now that the roadwork on LaBore Road is nearing completion, we need to address the type of <br />traffic the City wants to have travel on this road. <br />I received a complaint stating large semi - trucks were traveling on this road as soon as the base <br />course was placed. Also, during application of the wear course, I saw a large semi -truck <br />carrying bulk lumber travel this road three different times. <br />Obviously, the smooth, wide road is attractive to these drivers. However, there are no <br />commercial uses located along LaBore Road between Edgerton Street and County Road D. <br />Further, there is no need for large trucks to travel this section of road as they have good road <br />access to other truck routes along County Road D, Edgerton Street, and Centerville Road. <br />If the Council wishes to restrict truck traffic on this section of LaBore Road, I recommend that <br />signage be at both ends as shown on the attached sketch. The proposed signage has been <br />reviewed by the Sheriff's office and they feel they can enforce it. <br />GS:kp <br />PAGE 260 <br />
