Mounds View City Council August 12, 2024 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br />Spring Lake Road. He stated the City now had to consider how to address the speed and volume <br />of traffic along Spring Lake Road. He reviewed several traffic calming measures the City could <br />consider which included education and community involvement, targeted speed enforcement, <br />enhanced speed limit signs, speed limit pavement markings and permanent drive feedback signs. <br />He indicated another option would be to consider bulb-out/curb extensions or shrub plantings. He <br />commented further on the potential improvement areas along Ardan Avenue and thanked the <br />Council for their time. <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated Ramsey County was pursuing federal <br />dollars for j-turns along Mounds View Boulevard at Groveland and Spring Lake Road. He <br />indicated this could impact traffic along both of these roadways. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom opened the meeting for public comment. <br /> <br />Julie Golias, 8377 Groveland Court, stated from her deck she had a clear view of the stop signs at <br />Groveland Court and it was astonishing how many cars blow through this intersection. She <br />indicated she would like to see more enforcement, but understood this wasn’t always possible. She <br />explained she was grateful that the stop signs have reduced the speed of traffic along Groveland <br />Road and she did not want to see the stop signs removed. <br /> <br />Matt Oquist, 8408 Groveland Road, indicated he supported the stop signs remaining in place, but <br />noted he would support the flashing lights being removed since the stop signs have been in place <br />for the past two years. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom closed the meeting for public comment. <br /> <br />Council Member Clark asked if the speed reduction efforts on Long Lake Road has reduced traffic <br />speed and volume. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained he could speak <br />with the County regarding this matter, noting he does not have current traffic counts. He reiterated <br />that the traffic measures along Long Lake Road were pursued by the County. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn inquired if there were two locations for stop signs to be installed along <br />Spring Lake Road. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom stated stop signs could be installed at 84th and Ardan Avenue. <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained it makes the most sense to install <br />a stop sign at Ardan Avenue. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the traffic data that was collected. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn stated she anticipated there was not enough room to install a mini <br />roundabout along Spring Lake Road. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause supported a stop sign being installed at 84th and Ardan Avenue along <br />Spring Lake Road. In addition, he supported keeping the stop signs on Groveland Road.
