Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Staff <br /> • City of St. Anthony <br /> July 30, 1999 <br /> Page 3 <br /> VI. Recommendations <br /> Based on comments received at the public information meeting, and upon review of the traffic.pattems on <br /> 29'"Avenue,we offer the following recommendation for the Council's consideration on reconstructing 29' <br /> Avenue in the year 2000: <br /> 1. The existing street cross-section should consist of a 40-foot section with parking on each side <br /> with chokers and reducers at the intersections similar to the section currently in place with <br /> minor modification. <br /> 2. Improve•signing and striping on 29'Avenue. <br /> 3. reconstruct 29' Avenue from Stinson Boulevard to County Road 88. <br /> 4. Landscaping along 29'Avenue in the boulevard be added to the project in an effort to <br /> further reduce speed through passive visual restriction. <br /> 5. Should the Council desire to place a sidewalk along 29'Avenue, it is recommended that the <br /> sidewalk be placed on the south side of 29'Avenue with pedestrian crossings at the <br /> . intersections of 29''Avenue and Roosevelt, Wilson Street West, Silver Lake Road,and <br /> Crestview Avenue. <br /> -,In regard to the residents' concerns associated with the installation of additional stop signs on 29'Avenue, at <br /> the Council's request,we could investigate the intersections on 29`h Avenue to determine if they warrant a <br /> stop condition. Please be advised that stop signs which are installed inappropriately have been shown to <br /> cause safety and enforcement problems, as individuals do not adhere to stop signs where obstructions are not <br /> commonly encountered. <br /> We ask that the Council provide further direction in regard to the reconstruction of 29`h Avenue at your <br /> August 10, 1999, meeting. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> WSB&Associates,Inc. <br /> Todd E.
