Mounds View City Council May 14, 2018 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br />coordination with road improvements being made by Ramsey County. He discussed the <br />improvements that would be completed by the County and noted the roadway would be restriped. <br />He commented on a potential trail on the north side of the roadway and asked if the Council <br />would support the long-term maintenance of this trail. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller asked how long the trail would be. Public Works Director Peterson reported the <br />trail would run from Eastwood to County Road J along Long Lake Road. He estimated the trail <br />would be 3½ to 4 blocks long. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller questioned what the benefit would be for Mounds View to take over the <br />maintenance of this trail segment. Public Works Director Peterson stated this would be a regional <br />trail that would connect Anoka County to Mounds View. He indicated the County would assume <br />all costs to build the trail and was only asking the City to assume the long-term maintenance. He <br />stated the goal of the trail would be to eliminate pedestrians from walking on the south side of <br />Long Lake Road. He noted the City already maintains the sidewalks along Long Lake Road. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn inquired if the trail would be on the same side of the street as the sound <br />wall. Public Works Director Peterson reported this was correct. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8965, <br />Approving No Parking on the West/South Side of Long Lake Road from Mounds View <br />Boulevard to Eastwood Road, in Coordination of Road Improvements by Ramsey County. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron stated he has heard from residents that the loss of parking along Long <br />Lake Road would be impactful for those living along this roadway. He commented that two one- <br />way bike lanes may be excessive for this County road. He explained that because the County was <br />not listening to the City and hearing the concerns being raised by Mounds View residents he <br />would not be supporting the request. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked what would happen if the Council were to deny this <br />Resolution. Public Works Director Peterson stated he was uncertain. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the location of the proposed No Parking segment along Long <br />Lake Road. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Bergeron) Motion carried. <br /> <br />I.
