This matter was referred to the Engineer, The following is our report. We have contacted Mark Mattson, Assistant County Engineer, and discussed the need to increase visibility at that intersection. Based on that conversation, the County will install a standard cylindrical reflector on the existing stop sign post on 39th Street. The County will also study whether large (2' x 3') advance street name signs should be installed north and south of the intersection on Lake Elmo Avenue. We also contacted Ron Helfman from NSP and asked if there would be an installation charge for a street light at that location. As of this writing, Mr. Helftnan has not estimated the cost but it should be available at the meeting. In conclusion, the safety of the intersection would be enhanced by adding the 360 reflector on the stop sign and the erection of advance signs and/or it street light. The County will not have an answer on the advanced signing for a month or so because of the recent heart attack of their Traffic Engineer, Larry Bousquet. We will be present at the October 16 council meeting to discuss this In more detail. Sincerely, Larry D, Bohrer, P,E.
