c4 2541/ee ceamaa 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 November 7, 1997 TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council FROM: Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator RE: Curbing at Intersection of Keller Parkway and Arcade Street MAYOR Michael 1. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson In further reviewing this situation, it appears the above - referenced intersection was not constructed as designed (see attached diagram). At this time I have not been able to determine how that came to be. Paul Heuer has met with Ken Haider, Public Works Director for the City of Maplewood. Mr. Haider is agreeable to modifying the roadway to achieve the design width. However, he is not willing to modify the node on the east side to the degree necessary to prevent traffic from being forced into Arcade's southbound lane. Our staff feels that if the road had been built as designed, that problem would not exist. Mr. Haider feels his City Council would have to be brought into the discussion if this change was to be implemented. Paul Heuer will be present at Wednesday's meeting and will have diagrams depicting the current condition, the alternative Maplewood would agree to, and the design which was included in the plans and specifications. At this point in time, it appears we will need to convince the Maplewood City Council of the necessity to modify this road back to the original design. It is my assumption this will meet with vehement opposition by the property owner on that corner and could result in the Maplewood City Council vetoing this request. Cooperation between the two cities is imperative as this section is within Maplewood's boundary and they still owe us for the work on this road. Your direction is needed as to how you would like us to proceed. Page 41
