OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS -3- SEPTEMBER 20, 1993 includes the frontage road work, but does not include any drainage work or right-of-way acquisition. Mayor Linke asked about the maintenance costs. He mentioned that at other intersections, the City of Moundsview shares the maintenance costs with Ramsey County and MNDOT, and perhaps some agreement will have to be worked out between the Cities of Spring Lake Park and Moundsview and the Counties of Anoka and Ramsey along with MNDOT. Mr Anderlik added that that would be the case here too, to cover the costs of re-lamping, painting, etc. Mayor Wells stated that part of the problem on the south side of the intersection is that, as you will note on your plans, Pleasantview, kind of drops down into McKinley Street in the trailer park. However, at this point McKinley Street is not a public street but belongs to the trailer park. What Mr Anderlik was referring to in regard to Old Central is that MNOOT has proposed to the City of Spring Lake Park, to make Old Central a four -lane road from 81st to where it wraps around south of Highway to with the intent to dirvert some of the traffic from the 81st a Highway 65 intersection. We think that because Old Central is an Anoka County road they should be approached to share in this project. Moundsview Councilmember Trude asked if the senior housing proposal was the reason to bring this issue to their attention at this time. Mayor Wells replied that this was not the primary reason. That the City has had an ongoing discussion with the Fire Chief since the relocation of the Fire Department at this intersection. It has become a real safety issue and with signalization and the Opticon system it would give the fire vehicles more control of traffic. Councilmember Trude stated that the three -city Fire Department would actually be the primary benificiary of this signalization at Pleasantview and Highway 10. She stated that simply looking at the residential area, she could not see where the signal would benefit the City of Moundsview in any other way. Councilmember Trude questioned what would become of the property if the senior housing did not go in there. Mayor Wells responded that he did not know, however the highway department does seem interested in closing off the access to West Highway 10 in this area, if not signalized, and allowing an east- bound right -turn -only to the commercial area, closing off the access to Sunset Road and making Pleasantview Drive the only access for the businesses in this area. Councilmember Trude commented that she understood that this would benefit the businesses in Spring Lake Park.
