515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Hanson & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Dave Harris, Public Works Superintendent <br />DATE: November 4, 1994 <br />RE: Ruth Street Concerns <br />MAYOR <br />Raymond G. Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />After the neighborhood meeting, the City Administrator instructed <br />me to look at several requests for Ruth Street. With this memo <br />are several attachments regarding these requests. <br />1. Current location of street lights. Attachment I is a <br />map showing the current location of street lights. <br />There are three in this area which fall within the <br />policy guidelines for lighting of residential streets. <br />Attachment II is a copy of Little Canada's policy for <br />residential street lighting. Paragraph #9 of this <br />attachment addresses deviations from the City's policy. <br />If the Council deems it necessary to deviate from the <br />policy, I would suggest an addition of two street <br />lights: One should be placed in between the light on <br />Co. Rd. C and the one in the middle of Ruth Street, and <br />the other should be placed between the light on Demont <br />Avenue and the one in the middle of Ruth Street. <br />2. Installation of signs. Currently, there are two 30 <br />m.p.h. speed limit signs posted. The location of these <br />signs are shown on Attachment III. The request for <br />"children at play" signs are also marked on this <br />attachment in relation to the existing speed limit <br />signs. I do not believe the installation of the <br />"children at play" signs would be over - signing the <br />street. Their placement near the corners would be very <br />helpful in warning the motorists that children are in <br />the neighorhood. <br />3. Parking situation. Currently, there is parking on both <br />sides of Ruth Street. In the past, I have addressed <br />this issue with the Council (see Attachment IV and V). <br />I believe the parking in that area has not changed, and <br />I still recommend that there be no parking posted on <br />the east side and that restricted parking be posted on <br />Page 60 <br />
