Mounds View City Council March 25, 1985 <br />Regul_Ar "eeting Page Three <br />Pleasant View Drive. He suggested closing off <br />Pleasant View so no one could get through at all. <br />Mayor Linke stated closing Pleasant View off would <br />present problems for both the Police and Fire <br />Departments, although something might be worked out <br />for emergencies. <br />Mr. Greene stated they had looked at other plans but <br />none were feasible, and if they were to place it in <br />Spring Lake Park, they would have to use commercial <br />property, which is much more expensive to purchase, <br />and they would have to displace buildings and <br />businesses. <br />Meg Davis, 8392 Pleasant View Drive stated she would <br />rather have the commercial businesses disturbed than <br />the residential area. <br />Councilmember Hankner asked if a knock -down gate could <br />be installed at the end of Pleasant View, if it were <br />closed off, to allow emergency access. <br />Police Chief Ramacher replied they have installed <br />them in other parts of the City but have never had the <br />occassion to use them. All the squad cars and fire <br />department vehicles have keys in them for the gates. <br />He also pointed out the other areas are lower in <br />traffic than Pleasant View Drive. <br />Mr. Greene stated they could get more restrictive on <br />Pleasant View by allowing right turns only in and out. <br />John Davis, 8392 Pleasant View Drive asked if a decision <br />had already been made, or whether the City could say no <br />at this point. He stated the residents have repeatedly <br />said they do not want the signalization at that location. <br />Mr. Greene pointed out the issue will not go away and will <br />only get worse, and something must be done as far as safety <br />is concerned. <br />Merl Lensing, 8310 Pleasant View Drive, suggested <br />reconsidering Spring Lake Park Road, which had been <br />proposed five or six years ago. <br />Mr. Greene stated they cannot go back in time, and <br />they are looking for a design that will be safe and <br />help everyone and not affect the property values. <br />Dolly Bruner, <br />had cars end <br />the highway, <br />Larry Klemms, <br />would be very <br />8454 Pleasant View Drive, stated she has <br />up in her yard twice that have been hit on <br />and she would like to see stop signs added. <br />of MnDOT, reminded the residents that it <br />important to have a signal for the children <br />
