Item No. 1 <br />Staff Report No. <br />Meeting Date: March 6, 2000 <br />Type of Business: W.K. <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br />Item Title/Subject: Highway 10 Planning Strategies <br />Date of Report: August 29, 2018 <br /> <br />Here are a few of the things staff has put together to discuss with Council about what improvements could be <br />made to Highway 10 to perceivably increase pedestrian safety. <br /> <br />- Lower speed limit, would require speed study conducted by MnDot, could possibly increase speed <br />limit <br />- Fill ditches to a height, which would still allow drainage and plant trees, shrubs, etc. to lessen <br />openness of roadway. Plantings in the middle of the road might hinder the ability to cross at non- <br />designated areas. <br />- Construct paths on both sides of the highway for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. <br />- Install street / path lighting <br />- Construct bridge or tunnel for crossing of highway. <br />- Increase walk light time on traffic signals. <br />- Remove signal crosswalks that are not tied to sidewalks or trails. <br />- Conduct pedestrian study to determine best crossing locations. <br />- Install signs directing pedestrian / bicycle traffic to crossing locations. <br />- Install benches, drinking fountains, bulletin boards, etc. at crossings to draw people to those <br />locations <br /> <br />This is not a complete list by any means and staff can add more items from the discussion. This <br />list could then be forwarded to Ramsey County for future consideration. Some of these measures <br />could possibly be accomplished with relatively small amounts of funding and others will <br />obviously take a vast amount of planning and capital funding. <br /> <br />Staff will add other ideas to the list and set up a meeting with Ramsey County to discuss these <br />options. <br /> <br /> <br />_________________________________ <br />Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> <br />C:\Mike's documents\projects\Hwy 10 - Bridge\hwy 10 ped measures.doc
