Mounds View City Council April 12, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 7 Council Member Mueller noted that a golf cart is easier to see than the scooters that are allowed 1 on the City’s streets. She stated a golf cart would need a slow moving vehicle sign and restricted 2 for use from sunrise to sunset. Council Member Mueller stated she does not object to allowing 3 golf carts on streets since it would provide the alternative for a permitted driver to use this mode 4 of transportation. 5 6 Council Member Gunn asked if they should be restricted to side streets. Clerk-Administrative 7 Ericson agreed that if allowed, they should be restricted from County and State roadways. 8 9 Council Member Hull stated he would like additional resident input instead of considering such a 10 change because of one resident request. 11 12 Council Member Stigney stated he did not support opening the City’s streets for use of golf carts. 13 14 Mayor Flaherty concurred based on the number of County roadways and high volume of traffic 15 coursing through Mounds View. He noted a golf cart, if allowed on the City’s trails, would take 16 up the entire width and affect other trail users. Mayor Flaherty stated he felt there were too many 17 safety concerns to consider this request. However, if many of residents make this request it could 18 be considered in the future. 19 20 Mayor Flaherty announced the upcoming community theater production of “Guys and Dolls” at 21 the Irondale High School Theater, noting the production dates are posted on the City’s website. 22 23 C.
