19 PUBLIC COMMENT
20 Arlan Brown, 2372 Tart Lake Road, addressed the council. He stated that residents of Tart Lake
21 Road have on-going concerns about traffic issues, particularly related to the volume of cars using
22 the roadway. He explained that a recent traffic study indicated in the area of 1,500 cars per day
'~"23 using the street, 60%of which are from outside the area. The roadway is curved and there are no
24 sidewalks so safety(especially for children living on the street) remains a huge issue. Mr.
25 Brown reported that the residents are appreciative of the city's efforts to assist with the situation
26 and support the continuation of those efforts. They particularly encourage strong consideration
27 of a dead end roadway alternative.
28 Community Development Director Grochala reported that the city engineer is looking at the
29 situation, including information provided by the police department, and will make
30 recommendations soon, probably in July. He added that the city is keeping information available
31 on the Web site.
32 The council anticipates receiving information from staff regarding the traffic situation at the
33 August work session.

COUNCIL MINUTES June 22, 2009
APPROVED
■ ..81 Community Development Director Grochala reported on a project that would improve the
82 I-35E/County Road 14 bridge interchange. The city has been working with Anoka County on
83 improvement plans for the past two years. The project has a large federal funding component
84 but the remaining funding requirement is under discussion. Staff is requesting approval of the
85 plans and specification for the project. That action would in no way obligate the city to any
86 funding. Funding will be discussed in the future.
87 A council member requested that the title of Resolution No. 09-38 be amended to indicate that
88 the approval is for plans and specifications only. To state that the project is being approved at
89 this point would be premature.
90 Council Member Reinert moved to approve Resolution No. 09-38 as presented. Council
91 Member Gallup seconded the motion. Motion carried.
