in the manner they were intended to, he had received several com- plaints from the residents of that area about the difficulty of cross- ing those intersections as well as a letter from the Silver Oak school officials saying they consider the crossings to be a hazard to the pupils who have to cross Silver Lake Road to reach the school. They were therefore busing those children the short distance to school. Councilman Haik said she had noticed that the left turn signals acti- vate while the "Walk" pedestrian indicators are on, creating a great deal of confusion in the minds of pedestrains about the safety of proceeding from the meridian. She asked that the matter be tabled until the other council members had studied the situation for themselves. The Manager discussed his September 8th memo regarding the Public Works Bill and the NLC report on the bill and said he will keep the Council informed on further developments. Councilman Stauffer said she had been receiving many complaints about the careless driving and speeding of young drivers along Skycroft Drive. She suggested that the public be advised to take down the of- fenders' car licenses and report to the police who, though they might take no legal action, could contact the drivers and their parents. Mr. Dulgar said this has been police policy for years and pointed out the fact that Skycroft like many other City areas is now seeing their younger generation turn into teenagers with the attendant problems of that transition. Motion by Councilman Haik and seconded by Councilman Sundland to approve payment of all Verified Claims listed in the September 14, 1976 Agenda. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Dulgar placed Central Air Conditioning as an addition to the firms seeking heating licenses listed in the Agenda. Motion by Councilman Haik and seconded by Councilman Sauer to approve all licenses including that mentioned above which are listed in the September 14, 1976 Agenda. Motion carried unanimously. Councilman Sauer asked for clarification regarding the item identified as "resident Perry injury" which was listed in the statement of account submitted by the City Attorney. The Manager said this involved an injury to a boy who rode his bike over the curb down by the new inter- section of Kenzie Terrace and St. Anthony Boulevard. It was noted that the Minnesota Highway Department had failed to comply with State regulations to make all curbing barrier free for the handicapped along the roadway they had constructed at the intersections of Kenzie Terrace and Highway 8 with St. Anthony Boulevard. A resolution asking that this ommission be rectified is to be prepared by the Manager for future Council action. -7-
