II. Department Divisions <br />2014 Annual Report · Publc Works Department · St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br />5 <br />Kenzie Terrace LED Crosswalk – <br /> Kenzie Terrace near St. Anthony Boulevard is a busy County road with several businesses <br />on the east side. These businesses generate a signifi cant amount of pedestrian traffi c from <br />the surrounding residential areas. The City of St Anthony Village currently uses standard <br />pedestrian crosswalks with static signing and pavement markings to designate where it is <br />safe for pedestrians to cross. However, it’s been observed that drivers do not yield the right <br />of way as often as they should. Additionally, the current crosswalk location at Pentagon <br />Drive and Kenzie Terrace is located directly in the path of drivers entering and exiting <br />the St. Anthony Shopping Center. These factors have created an unsafe environment for <br />pedestrians to move freely between their homes and surrounding businesses. <br />Project Description: By moving the location and then enhancing the visibility of the <br />crosswalk, the City can improve safety for pedestrians trying to cross Kenzie Terrace. <br />The crosswalk location will be moved to 27th Avenue NE to get pedestrians away from <br />the shopping center entrance, and it also creates a more natural crossing point from the <br />surrounding residential areas. Pedestrian crossing signs will be upgraded with fl ashing LEDs <br />around the border to increase crosswalk visibility. Additionally, the City will install LED pucks <br />in the pavement at the painted crosswalk that fl ash in unison with the signs. Both the LEDs <br />on the signs and in the pavement are activated by a push-button on either side of Kenzie <br />Terrace. The City plans to complete the work by Spring 2015. <br /> <br />Fiber LAN Project – St Anthony Municipal Fiber Optic Network <br />As part of the City’s strategic initiatives to maintain a quality infrastructure and a robust <br />technological foundation, staff is requesting the Council to review a proposal on the creation <br />of a municipal fi ber optic network. <br />Our photo. <br />OK to use?
