The intended result was to slow traffic at the <br />intersection. During design and construction, Maplewood was successful in creating an <br />intersection that was close to the 90 degree requirement. The curb was installed last <br />year and the first course of blacktop installed. <br />The City of Little Canada and local residents have had an opportunity to monitor the <br />intersection since that time. The Little Canada City Council, local residents and others <br />are dissatisfied with the performance of the intersection. Most drivers do not slow down <br />enough to navigate the turn within their own lane. They typically cross over the center <br />line of Arcade Street when making the turn. This is a dangerous situation for the <br />southbound traffic on Arcade Street. There is a petition signed by a number of <br />Maplewood residents Included in the packet, as well as other supporting documents. I <br />have notified the residents in the area about the meeting tonight. <br />It is recommended the city council hear testimony from Interested parties and <br />make a decision on the future of the Intersection so that this project may be <br />completed. <br />jc <br />Attachments <br />KGH <br />Poet -IPFay Note 7671 <br />Data 7 ,2#SIP /same.• <br />From - nunl1Y' C1hC.T7... -, <br />�((���_ / <br />To Taag..� PA. iv rtn.0 <br />CajPept <br />Co. <br />Phone #TA, s S3 & <br />//�� !! <br />q <br />P° "770''/55 Z- <br />"°" <br />FOX <br />Fax 0 <br />Page 9 <br />
