Mayor Neisen asked if the semiphores were installed and it was proven that a
cul -de -sac was needed at St. Stephen and Eastwood later on, who then would be
responsible - the City of Mounds View, State of Minnesota or County.
Mr. VanWormer stated regardless of when it goes in there would be mutual concern
and mutual involvement.
Mayor Neisen said Highway #10 and County Rd. I would be shared 50/50 by the
State and County. If Eastwood has a cul -de -sac does the City of Mounds View
have to pay for it.
Mr. VanWormer said that he assumed they would look to Mounds View to pick up
any additional right of way. They would try to fund physical work with State
Funds.

Roger Erickson said he had attended a meeting of the School Board. He stated
that the majority of those in attendance were not from this area. The Board
stated that the police department of the individual cities would decide whether
these areas were safe to walk in. Afterward he received a letter that
area (Long Lake Road - County Rd. I and Hillview) was considered safe for walking.
Mayor Neisen decided that there were several things to be considered in the
matter of semiphore installation and inquired when the Highway Department would
be needing a definite answer from the Council. He would like to get some reaction
from all of the concerned residents of the City.
Councilman Johnson and Hodges felt it wauld be a good idea to have another
meeting, at a later date.
Mr. Erickson asked Mr. VanWormer exactly how much more traffic Long Lake Road
would have due to the semiphore.
Mr. VanWormer felt there would be no increase in traffic on Long Lake Road caused
by the traffic signal itself.
Mr. Bacon suggested that the semiphore be installed and see how much traffic
is generated then if Eastwood has to be blocked off, do it then.
Daryl Madison, 5200 Jeffery, inquired why a stop sign could not be put on
the turn off lane on County Rd. H2 and Highway #10 instead of blocking Greenfield.
