Pauley <br />Clerk -Administrator <br />City of Mounds View <br />2401 Highway 10 — -' <br />Mounds View, Minnesota 55112 <br />Dear Mr. Pauley: <br />SUBJECT: S.P. 62011 (TH 10) <br />Signal Timing Changes <br />Mr. Curtis Gobeli and I appreciated the opportunity to meet with you <br />yesterday to discuss our proposed experimental signal timing changes on <br />the T.H. 10 coordinated signal system. Your insight into the pedestrian <br />crossing patterns along T.H. 10 and future land use development in <br />Mounds View is quite helpful. <br />As we discussed, Mn/DOT is responding to (1) local concerns about the <br />existing pedestrian timing scheme of crossing the highway in two separate <br />sequences -- first to the median and then across the far side and (2) our <br />concern about the possibility of pedestrians crossing half way and not <br />being able to reach the median push button due to high snow banks. The <br />local concerns center around summertime activity when kids cross T.H. 10 <br />at Silver Lake Road an Heir uay to the bnanh on Spring Lake and perhaps <br />other recreational facilities. The snow bank problem isproportional <br />to the snowfall each winter, and due to other plowing priorities, <br />difficult to keep snow cleared from push buttons. <br />se the <br />Five signals along T.H. <br />arecoordinated <br />vehiclesdwith throughach other the area.toAsnyouaknow, <br />efficiency of moving platoons <br />traffic volumes are extremely high and congestion occurs during peak <br />periods. If the efficiency of moving T.N. 10 traffic is reduced, further <br />congestion and conflicts will occur. Depending upon the level of dis- <br />ruption, those conflicts could turn into accidents. For, these reasons, <br />we are hesitant to compromise the efficiency of the traffic signal timing <br />settings presently inplace in this system. We do, however, want to be <br />responsive to the pedestrian concerns identified al Therefore, <br />low rweare <br />'developing revised signal timing plans <br />ians <br />enough time to cross the entire highway in one cycle. <br />.In rqual OpparundU• L•)riplgrrr <br />
