Page 3 Roseville, the property owners along that road and the Wilshire Park School PTSA. The plans included widening the road to 52 feet and enlargement of the intersection of Silver Lake Road and County Road D. Provisions for pedestrian and bicycle safety in the Wilshire Park school area, as requested by the PTSA and agreed to by the Council at their last meeting, were discussed at great length and included temporary measures to be taken before the actual construct- ion is completed. He said an overpass would probably only attract the younger pedestrians. He then gave the figures which represented the City's share of costs for the Ramsey County side of the road for curb and gutter, sidewalks and the traffic signals. Representing the Hennepin County Highway Department were Mr. Don Spielmann and Mr. Al Herzog. Mr. Spielmann gave the City's costs for the rebuilding of the Hennepin County side of the roadway saying the figures were set by the policies of the Hennepin County Commissioners. The Manager said he disputed the share of expenses which had been allocated to the City for storm sewer trunk lines and traffic signals. However, since neither county was seeking final approval but only approval for the grade and alignment of the roadway it was agreed that there would be time later to resolve the conflict on costs. Mr. Leonard also attempted to justify the width of the intersection of the road with Silver Lake Road as well as the need for the meridian following Councilman Haik's expression of concern about both. Councilman Stauffer wondered if, in view of the poor performance she felt had been demonstrated by the new computerized sempahor at the intersection of Kenzie Terrace, St. Anthony Boulevard and Highway 8, if less expensive sema- phore might not prove a wiser investment for the City. Mr. Spielmann urged that more time be allowed to judge the performance of the semaphors after they had been adjusted by the state. Motion by Councilman Stauffer, seconded by Councilman Haik to adopt Resolutions No. 76-020 E Mo. 76-021 accepting the preliminary plans for the upgrading of County Road D from Silver Lake Road to the City limits and to authorize Hennepin and Ramsey Counties to proceed with the acquisition of right of way and/or easements for the project.
