4t"' 9 �.• MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRA DATE: JULY 10, 1984 SUBJECT: SUNSET ROAD MEDIAN CLOSURE Attached is a letter received by the City from J. S. Katz, District Traffic Engineer for the Minnesota Department of Transportation, District Five indicating that it is the intention of the Department of Transportation to close the Highway 10 median at Sunset Road in Spring Lakc Park on or about the second week, of August. As you may recall, the City of Spring Lake Park had been requesting that the City of Mounds View jointly participate with them in the installation of a signalized intersection on Pleasant View Drive which would allow for the rerouting of Sunset Road traffic to Pleasant View Drive thus allowing for the median closure without negatively impacting upon traffic circulation at Sunset Road. The last meeting with Spring Lake Park resulted in a request by the City of Mounds View that they determine the level at which they would be willing to financially participate in the access of right-of-way and construction of the intersection. My last conversation with Clerk -Treasurer, Don Busch was that the City of Spring Lake Park vas negotiating with Nagela Sign Company to determine what the cost would be to acquire those areas in which their advertising signs are located. Since that conversation I have had no contacts with Mr. Busch regarding this matter. Staff would request Council direction as to your desires in this matter. As we see it, there are two options facing the Mounds View City Council. They are: 1. Ignore this matter and allow the City of Spring Lake Park to contact Mounds View should it be their desire to resurrect this issue for further discussion. 2. City of Mounds View contact Spring Lake Park and determine what the desires of that City are.
