r <br />MEMO TO: CLERK-ADMINISTRATO <br />FROM: POLICE CHI C(PW <br />DATE: SEPTEMBER 23, 1987 <br />SUBJECT: "WATC11 CHILDREN" SIGNS <br />0 <br />In response to the suggestion of installing "Watch Children" <br />signs at the intersection of County Road li and Knollwood, I agree <br />with the Ramsey County assessment that the location is not <br />unusually hazardous. Pedestrian traffic in that area would be <br />considered sparse compared to other crossing areas within the <br />City. I think it is important not to install signs where there <br />is no apparent need as this practice would "water down" the <br />effectiveness of the other meaningful traffic control signs. <br />After reading the memo from Ramsey County Public, Works and <br />assessing the pedestrian traffic along County Road H, I am <br />suggesting Lhe following: <br />1) Installation of `Watch Children" Sign Westbound <br />County Road H at Edcawood. <br />2) Installation of "Watch Children" Sign Eastbound <br />County Road If between Long Lake Road and 14th <br />Avenue NW. <br />The volume of vehicular traffic, the hill, and volume of <br />pedestrian traffic (particularly during the school year) creates <br />a hazard at this location. <br />I hope that the installation of "Watch Children" signs at these <br />locations would improve driver awareness to eliminate a possible <br />hazardous situation. <br />Should you have any questions, please feel free to call me. <br />TR/mjs <br />
