Mounds View City Council March 8, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 10 <br />• 1 Council Member Marry indicated that the City is in the process of redesigning County Highway <br />2 10 and safety is a major concern with that redesign. He then said the preliminary plans are to <br />3 have trailways on the north and south bound sides of County Highway 10 to channel people up to <br />4 the trailway and down to a controlled intersection that has been redesigned for safety. <br />5 <br />6 Mr. Edmond commented that they could be designed however you want to but he sees the kids <br />7 crossing at Jakes in the middle of the street where there is no crosswalk. He then said that he has <br />8 no answer for the problem but he would recommend that the sidewalk not bring them to County <br />9 Highway 10. <br />10 <br />11 Council Member Quick indicated that people will cross if they want to regardless of whether <br />12 there is a sidewalk. He then said that every time the City puts in a sidewalk there are those that <br />13 do not want it but this is something for the good of the City overall and sidewalks get people out <br />14 of the street for walking and he sees no negative to providing a safe place for residents to walk. <br />15 <br />16 Mr. Edmond said that he is not trying to discredit the police force but if there is someway of <br />17 controlling the drivers on Highway 10 that would be helpful. <br />18 <br />19 Mayor Linke agreed but said the person crossing the street has a responsibility to do so safely. <br />20 <br />21 Council Member Many indicated that a sidewalk or trailway gives residents an opportunity to <br />22 walk and not be in the street and that is safer. <br />• 23 <br />24 Council Member Gunn commented that for a short time after Brandon was killed the schools <br />25 worked hard on educating the kids on where and how to cross but as time goes on they focus less <br />26 on it and she sees the kids again crossing with the quickest route. <br />27 <br />28 Heidi Neumann of 7770 Groveland Road asked when the trailway is planned to go along <br />29 Highway 10. <br />30 <br />31 Mayor Linke indicated it started at one end and the rest is coming as a part of the reconstruction. <br />32 <br />33 Ms. Neumann asked when it would be in front of Groveland Road. <br />34 <br />3s Public Works Director Lee indicated that discussion of implementation of the sidewalk is set for <br />36 discussion at the Apri15, 2004 meeting. <br />37 <br />38 Mayor Linke indicated there is not a date set but it is on the agenda. <br />39 <br />4o Ms. Neumann indicated she has an issue with directing pedestrian traffic to an uncontrolled busy <br />41 highway with no crossing. She also asked what she is supposed to do with 6.5 feet of sidewalk in <br />42 front of their home. <br />43 <br />44 Mayor Linke indicated the City pays for maintenance. <br />45 <br />
