No formal Council action was required. TRAFFIC SAFETY STUDY CSAH 14 ar, I -35E (DOUG FISCHER, ANOKA COUNTY) The Anoka County Highway Department recently completed a traffic study on the section of CSAH 14, from 21" Street in Centerville to CR 84 (Otter Lake Road) in Lino Lakes. The purpose of the study was to review, analyze, evaluate, and provide recommendations for possible improvements and/or traffic control changes. Mr. Fischer is also involved with the CSAH 8/14 realignment project, both as the former Washington County's Assistant Engineer and now as the Director of Highways for Anoka County. Staff requested he present this traffic safety study to Council in order that Council is publicly informed of the efforts of Anoka County to address the traffic safety concern of Hugo residents at the interchange of CSAH 14 and I -35E. Mr. Fischer stated that the intersection had a higher than average injury accident average. Because the bridge is too narrow, it would not be feasible to install traffic lights so Anoka County will be installing stop signs to control traffic. Miron made motion, Granger seconded, directing staff to send a letter to Anoka County Commissioner Margaret Langfeld thanking her for Mr. Fischer's presence at the Hugo City Council meeting, and reaffirming the City's interest in the interchange improvements.
