Discussions with Moundsview and Spring Lake Park began in January 1979 to consider signal alternatives. Through December 1981, we have submitted several layouts for review and approval to the cities and Anoka and Ramsey counties. We have attended council meetings and had discussions with each city separately and in joint meetings. Although there was apparent agreement on a layout, project cost sharing and right-of-way acquisition was never agreed to. More than once during project development, Mn/DOT had made its intention to drop the signal project and take other corrective action. The Sunset Road intersection continues to be an accident problem and the latest priority ranking for our district shows it to be near the top of the list. Since there has bern no progress in reaching an agreement, we believe that we can no longer wait to take action. We have, therefore, scheduled to close the T.H. 10 median at Sunset Road ca or about the second week of August. We have also informed the City of Spring Lake Park of our intention. Although we have dropped the project, we would be willing to consider installing a signal at Pleasantview Drive at some future date providing that the intersection still meets signal warrants at the time and a tentative agreement is reached by all agencies.
