-2- <br />Mr. Merron stated that Anchor Inn traffic is a major problem in that area <br />and suggested that no parking signs be placed along Greenfield. <br />Mr. Pat Gum, 7785 Greenwood Drive, stated that the effect of the Mounds View <br />Shopping Center should be considered and asked how many signatures were <br />necessary for a petition. <br />Mayor Neisen answered that 35% of the voters voting in the last election <br />could request a hearing and 75% could demand a hearing. <br />Mrs. Sharon McCarthy, 7760 Long Lake Road, stated that more consideration <br />should be given to the traffic that will be created when Mounds View Square <br />goes into operation. <br />Mr. Bob Larson, 5297 Greenfield suggested that the semaphores might cause <br />further problems if they are not properly synchronized. <br />Mr. VanWormer stated that the Highway Department had resisted putting <br />them in as long as possible, because the Department knew other problems <br />would inevitably arise. <br />Mr. Ron Merron suggested a right turn lane at County Road H2 might help <br />the problem. <br />Mr. Ed Donatelle, 5269 Jeffery Drive, suggested that no right -on -red at <br />County Road H2 would prevent the intersection from being blocked. <br />Mr. VanWormer stated that the Highway Department has banned right -on -red <br />in about six places and has not received very good compliance from motorists. <br />Mr. Donatelle stated that he preferred the island barrier to control traffic <br />turning into Greenfield rather than completely blocking the street, because <br />the latter would increase traffic on Woodale which is a narrow street. <br />Mr. Robert Glazer, 2625 Hillview, asked whether the completion of new <br />Highway #10 had been taken into consideration. <br />Mr. VanWormer stated that presently there is no funding or plans in the <br />district responsible for that project, and he estimated it could not be <br />completed for at least six to eight years. <br />Mrs. McCarthy stated that she thinks local traffic will re -route itself to <br />avoid congestion and long delays. <br />Councilman Johnson asked if the semaphores would always be on or if there <br />would be times when they would be flashing caution. <br />Mr. VanWormer stated that it would probably be set to flash from 1:00 A.M. to <br />5:00 A.M. <br />Mr. Donatelle suggested that no parking be posted on a trial basis on Green- <br />field north of O'Connell. <br />
