Six foot wide sidewalks are proposed for both sides of Silver • Lake Road throughout the entire length of the project. Sidewalks located between 5th Street and 7th Street will be relocated directly behind the curb to minimize right of way acquisition. Parking will be restricted along both sides of Silver Lake Road. The present speed limit of 40 miles per hour should not change as a result of the proposed improvement. Traffic signals will be revised at the intersections of Silver Lake Road at Silver Lane, County Road E, 5th Street and 7th Street to accommodate the increased road width. The signals will also be interconnected to provide a coordinated system. Ramsey County held a work session with the City of New Brighton on October 3, 1989. The City of New Brighton has requested Ramsey County to consider removing the center two-way left turn lane from those portions of Silver Lake Road where few turning movements are generated. The section between Silver Lane and County Road E was one section recommended. Ramsey County agreed to develop new drawings that replace the turn lane with landscaped medians. The City also requested another work session between the City and the County to review the new drawings. The City of St. Anthony requested Ramsey County to consider the following recommendations and to meet with them at a later date • to review the impacts these recommendations would have on the proposed improvement project: Aesthetics: The City .of St. Anthony supports the City of New Brighton' s recommendation that the center turn lane be removed in those areas where few turning movements are generated and be replaced with landscaped medians. Ramsey County will create new drawings for the Silver Lake Road project that will replace the center left turn lane with landscaped medians and decorative lighting for those areas of the project where a two-way left turn lane is not required. Windsor Lane/Windsor Drive Intersections: The City of St. Anthony is concerned about the safety of the pedestrians who cross Silver Lake Road at the Windsor Lane intersection to access, the bus- shelter on the west side of Silver Lake Road. The City of New Brighton would consider the closing of the Windsor Drive entrance onto Silver Lake Road. Windsor Lane would become the only entrance into the Windsor development. This action may generate the necessary traffic to warrant a stop sign or a signal . Ramsey County would consider the placement of a bus turnout on the west side of Silver Lake Road across from Windsor Lane. Ramsey County, in coordination with the City Administrator, will schedule a work session with the St. Anthony City Council after it has met again with the City of' New Brighton. Ramsey
