`Mounds View City Council January 8, 1990 <br />Regular Meeting Page Three <br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />Mr. Robinson replied metered ramps will handle the <br />increasing traffic, and while the total metering <br />system is not in pace yet,, by the time the project <br />is finished, it will be. <br />Mr. Linke stated now is the time to look at future <br />problems, not later. <br />Mayor Hankner stated she sees a real potential for <br />build-up of traffic along County Road I, with the <br />metered ramp. ' <br />Mr. Robinson explained when all ramps vn the system <br />are metered, it will run more smoothly. He also <br />explained the EIS was approved in 1986, and planning <br />cannot be done until the EIS is approved,. so it can <br />be 4-6 years from the time the EIS is approved until <br />construction actually begins. <br />Mayor Hankner noted a good deal of commercial develop- <br />ment had been done and asked if that had been antici- <br />pated. <br />Mr. Robinson replied they had taken future develop- <br />ment into consideration. He also explained how <br />different metering systems work, whether on a fixed <br />• time or by pressure plate,. or centralized computed <br />system. He added a new system is being worked on. <br />Paul Henzela, 8470 Eastwood,, asked if any preliminary <br />studies have included looking at studies of metro- <br />politan areas that have expanded rapidly, so that <br />the Twin Cities can learn from those other areas. <br />Mr. Robinson replied all studies benefit from the <br />experience of other areas. <br />Mark Hogen, 8340 Spring Lake Park Road,, asked which <br />roads in Mounds View will intersect with the <br />airport road. <br />Mr. Robinson replied existing County Road J will be <br />a local street from Groveland to Long Lake Road, and <br />the first street that would have access is Knoll- <br />wood. <br />Mr. Hogen stated it would then appear that Knollwood <br />and Spring Lake Park Road would have all the traffic <br />and asked if they would be updated. <br />Mr. Robinson replied nothing is planned for the local <br />• roads. <br />Lloyd Bardwell~ 2932 County Road J, expressed con- <br />cern for access for emergency vehicles. <br />
