Contract would be let in late fall providing we receive approval. Installation
would take place in spring and would be turned on in late spring or summer.
Some improvements would be necessary to roadway to adapt to traffic signals,
such as a north bound left turn lane on County Rd. I, some bitumous work on
approaches on County Rd. H2 and Highway #10. And it is necessary to install
some channelized right turn islands for traffic turning ofEof Highway #10.
Mr. VanWormer explained placement and problems of semiphores on Highway #10
by diagraming on the blackboard.
His proposal was to show alternatives and get reactions from the people and
not to say this is what we are 'going' to do. He presented some solution to
problems that would be created on St. Stephens and County Rd. H2 and on Eastwood
and County Rd. I due to semiphores. On Greenfield they would restrict the flow
of traffic into that street.
Mr. Merron, 5240 Greenfield, voiced concern about cutting off Greenfield Avenue.
He asked how emergency vehicles would get into the area and how this would
affect traffic in other areas.
Mr. VanWormer said at Greenfield they could make the median longer or possibly
install a sloped curb for emergency vehicles.
Mr. Tom Shun, 5240 Greenfield,asked if consideration had been given to the cost
of stopping and starting cars which uses more gas. Suggests acceleration lane
blocking the street off so there is no left turn onto Greenfield.
Mr. VanWormer said they are concerned with more than right turning traffic.
Engineer Bearden asked about programming County Rd. H2, County Rd. I, and Silver
Lake Road.
Mr. VanWormer said they would be programming these intersections, but there are
variables such as different speeds that may necessitate some stopping of traffic
flow.
David Fiedler, was in favor of the cul -de -sac proposal and presented a petition
taken on Eastwood Road from County Rd. I to County Rd. J. Letters were sent
to all residents on Eastwood, 30 letters were returned.
Mayor Neisen read the petition.
MSP (Neisen - Hodges) To receive the 30 letters from residents of Eastwood Road.
29 were in favor and 1 oppossed. 5 Ayes
Ole Bacon, 2625 Highway #10, said blocking Eastwood Rd. would be creating a
hardship for him, because his driveway ingress and egress is on Eastwood Rd.; and
he is concerned about snowplowing, mail delivery, etc. He wondered if they had
enough land there to make a cul -de -sac.
Mayor Neisen stated that he had been in the area and there is enough area to make
a cul -de -sac.
