CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. 50'h Street Improvement The City received a letter from Joseph and Mara Metraus, 10550 50"' St. N., indicating their concern on safety of the 90 degree curve on 50" Street and Kimbro Avenue and requesting the City not to pave 50`" Street, from Highway 5 to County 17, without considering the safety implications to the remainder of 50th St. Based on information received about the County and State Transportation Department's TH36 Subarea Study, Mayor Hunt brought up his concern that the County might be lookhig at the road as a secondary route to alleviate traffic headed north toward Highway 36. Council member DeLapp agreed that he would prefer to wait and see what their plans are before the City goes ahead with the project and ask the Planning Corrunission to wrap this project into their discussion when the Street Committee is setup. Council member Dunn did not want a wider road, to leave the road as is, but wanted to get the speed down. Rebecca Tenpas, 50°i Street, stated they still have a speed issue on the road and that several dogs have been hit on the road. She was concerned if the City waits, the County will come with a plan that will make the road more dangerous than it was before. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 2000
