CITIZENS COMMENTS AND REQUESTS
Rachael Bardwell, 2932 County Road J stated she would like the County to remove truck
traffic from County Road J, and asked why the City of Mounds View does not have a noise
ordinance, rather than just a nuisance ordinance. She explained that a reading had
been taken by the PCA along County Road J, which found the noise level to be above the
accepted 75 decibals. She also stated she would like the speed limit reduced, as she
had requested last year but which the State turned down since they did not see the
need. She stated that she had been told the City would have to request the speed
reduction again before the State would do another study, and that she would be going
on to the County Board if she gets the backing of the Council.
Councilmember Ziebarth joined the meeting at this time.
Mayor Pickar stated that the City had requested the speed limit reduction last year and
would be willing to request it again. Mrs. Bardwell asked that the hours of the study
be specified, for when traffic would be moving and not tied up during rush hour.
MSP (Pickar - Rowley) to request the County to conduct a study between the hours of
7 and 10 PM along County Road J. 4 ayes
Mayor Pickar stated he was not sure what the basis would be for eliminating trucks
along County Road J. Councilmember Baumgartner added that the problem is with the
noisy trucks and that they should go back to the PCA and see what enforcement measures
the City should take and have the PCA monitor trucks and tag the violators. He added
that they would also have to tag any cars or motorcycles that were in violation.
