LAKE ELMO CITY COUNGi� MINUTES FEBRUARY 18, 1997 <br />5. CONSENT AGENDA: None <br />6. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: <br />A. Proposed Traffic Signal at CSAH 13 (Ideal Avenue) and TH. 5 (INFORMATIONAL) <br />City Engineer Tom Prow provided a review on the Signal Justification Report for the proposed <br />installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Ideal Avenue and TH.5. The report concludes <br />that with existing conditions at that Intersection signals are justified, although the warrants for that <br />signal are very borderline. As the Imation Business Park grows in size, both signals and turn <br />lanes will become more warranted. Lake Elmo will not be asked to share in the cost because <br />none of the roads at that Intersection are under our jurisdiction. Prew was not sure if <br />Washington County will participate in the cost either since improvements at that intersection do <br />not even appear on their capitol Improvements Plan. It appears that Imation is planning to <br />construct these improvements this summer. <br />7. PARKSIMAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT: None <br />8. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING: <br />A.
