Agenda Section: 9 . 1 Gums REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Report Number: 91 -26C STAFF REPORT Report Date: June 1 0 , 1991 EW Council Action: ❑ Special Order of Business CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE June 10, 1991 ElPublic Hearings ❑ Consent Agenda Council Business Item Description: School Speed Zone at Pinewood School Administrator's Review/Recommendation: ^^ - No comments to supplement this report ,C1� - Comments attached. Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; The City has received a request from County Commissioner Duane McCarty for the City to pass a resolution for a school speed zone along County Road I adjacent to Pinewood school. According to State law, the local government with jurisdiction of the road in question would be the appropriate body to take action. I have discussed this request with Dan Soler (Ramsey County Traffic Engineer) and we agreed that the appropriate course of action is to have the school develop a school route plan. This plan consists of a map showing the routes students take to get to school , the existing traffic controls, and the established crossing locations. This map will then be used by the County and City staffs to determine what additional controls are appropriate. Additional controls may include speed zones, additional crossing locations, and warning signs. I would suggest that we send a copy of a City base map to Pinewood school for their use in developing the school route plan. We would -offer assistance as necessary, but the school has the information regarding student residences and can most effectively develop the route plan. / � CK5 Ric M'netor City Engineer/Director of Public Works RECOMMENDATION; Work with Pinewood school officials to develop a route plan and the review this to determine if additional traffic controls are necessary.
