Mounds View City Council April 9, 1990 <br /> Regular Meeting Page Six <br /> Mayor Hankner reported Staff had met with Blaine <br /> p • <br /> staff to discuss the proposal . <br /> Mr. Minetor discussed the concerns the City has for <br /> authority over the road. If an intergovernmental <br /> agreement is reached, Blaine wants a statement that <br /> Mounds View does not oppose the proposed redesign <br /> of the airport road out of the Blaine industrial <br /> park. <br /> Mr. Benson clarified that funds can be set aside <br /> for a few years beyond 1992 for the airport road. <br /> Mayor Hankner stated she feels a traffic study <br /> should be done, no matter which alternate is <br /> decided upon. <br /> Councilmember Paone stated he would support the <br /> 3/6 modified without the airport extension until <br /> an adequate traffic study is done. <br /> Councilmember Blanchard stated she agreed, with an <br /> access road not going in until it is proven to be <br /> necessary. <br /> Councilmember Quick stated he feels it is critical <br /> to have an opening between Fairchild and Red Oak, • <br /> as response time is very important for emergency <br /> vehicles. If it is determined in the future that <br /> traffic on Red Oak Drive is a problem, funding would <br /> be set aside to deal with that. He added he feels <br /> this best meets the criteria for land use in Resolu- <br /> tion No. 838. <br /> Councilmember Blanchard reminded people the airport <br /> road section is 100 ' and it would not be that expen- <br /> sive in the future. <br /> Councilmember Quick stated he feels the road would <br /> be much more expensive than a traffic study. <br /> Councilmember Wuori stated there are three other roads to the east of <br /> Red Oak that are never brought up that also need access to the north, <br /> and by keeping the connection open at the airport road it will give <br /> them access. She added she feels that makes more sense. <br /> Mr. Hagen stated that as a member of the Groveland <br /> Park Foundation, he worked hard to upgrade the park. <br /> He stated he supports alternate 3/6 modified and <br /> would rather deal with the problems if they happen. <br /> Susan Fisher, 8360 Fairchild, stated she is a member • <br /> of the Groveland Park Association, and feels there <br /> is more traffic on Red Oak Drive than in her area. <br />
