Don Wisniewski reported there are 1,000 housing starts between West <br />Lakeland and Lake Elmo. The road is not overbuilt for the future. <br />Council member Siedow was against a roundabout, but favored 4-way stops <br />and didn't want signals until needed. Council member Armstrong thought a <br />semaphore was needed because the rumble strips are worn down. <br />Council member Dunn suggested keeping the stop signs until people learn to <br />drive. Mr. Wisniewski responded this is not a responsible solution. <br />Council member DeLapp reported Lake Elmo is developing 1/61h of <br />Woodbury, but with the infrastructure on the road, what we are getting is <br />exactly like Woodbury. This is the only road to get out of our City, and 4th <br />Street should have taken the traffic and not 1 Oth street. <br />Mayor Hunt would like to see a roundabout and didn't see a need for 16 <br />lanes. He was opposed to a signal light. <br />The Council asked the City Engineer to pull the data out of his report to <br />answer County's questions. If this is something that will take a long time, <br />then he should advise City Administrator. <br />M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn - to request Tom Prew to review his report and in two <br />weeks inform the Council what information is needed for his answers. <br />(Motion passed 4-1: Armstrong: A roundabout is a nice idea, but the <br />intersection is too dangerous to start something new, and should proceed <br />slowly.) <br />M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to reschedule November 61h Meeting to <br />Wednesday, November 71h at 5:30 pm. Council will be asked if they want <br />sandwiches. (Motion passed 5-0). <br />4. NEW BUSINESS <br />5. CONSENT AGENDA <br />6. MAINTENANCE/PARK/FIRE/;BUILDING <br />A. Update on maintenance Dept.
