Mounds View City Council April 9, 1990 <br /> Regular Meeting Page Seven <br /> •She stated everyone is concerned with increased <br /> traffic in all their areas, and she does not feel <br /> keeping the airport road access will keep traffic <br /> the way it is. She would prefer to leave the <br /> airport road access out of the plan. <br /> Pat Novak, of Knollwood Drive, stated a study is <br /> still a forecast, is expensive and is not a definite <br /> statement of what will happen. He stated a modified <br /> 310 gives some access, and streets could be blocked <br /> off in the future if necessary. He recommended <br /> access be put in at the airport road now, as it <br /> would be more cost efficient. <br /> Marilyn Fochell questioned if it is an option to <br /> block the road off in the future if it is a <br /> problem. <br /> Mayor Hankner stated that under the provisions of an <br /> intergovernmental agreement with Blaine, that would <br /> be included. However, conditions change and people <br /> change, and someone would have to watch it. <br /> She also questioned how long it would take to have a <br /> traffic study done on 3/6 modified. <br /> Mr. Minetor explained a thorough study would take <br /> six weeks, possibly longer, and he reviewed what <br /> considerations would have to be made. <br /> Councilmember Quick stated they need something to <br /> be able to compare or measure against, and he would <br /> support a traffic study. <br /> Councilmember Wuori stated she wouldn ' t have a pro- <br /> blem with it if there was adequate time to get a <br /> complete look at it. <br /> Jim Jorrisen, of Knollwood Drive, stated it is a <br /> good idea to try and predict what the traffic <br /> flow will be in the future. He added he feels stop <br /> signs would be a good deterent to through traffic. <br /> John Martineau, 8401 Fairchild, stated he feels <br /> there has been a lack of willingness to compromise, <br /> and he agrees they need to establish a baseline of <br /> traffic now, and they should also consider removing <br /> MSA money from Red Oak Drive as it could be a through <br /> route. <br /> Rick Shaffer, of Knollwood Drive, stated he feels a <br /> traffic study should be done, and they need to <br /> •address access to the north. <br />
