<br />J.1 Discussion on Petition for Stop Signs at 125th Street and Northern Pines Subdivision <br /> <br />The City of Hugo is in receipt of a petition from the Northern Pines Townhome Association that <br />requests that the City consider adding a 3-way stop to 125th Street North at Fenway Avenue <br />North. The petition references increased traffic on the roadway, lack of a shoulder for pedestrians <br />to walk on, and vehicles travelling at speeds that put pedestrians at risk. The stop sign is <br />requested to slow traffic down and create a safer street for the neighborhood. This petition was <br />discussed amongst City staff and was also forwarded to MNDOT and Washington County <br />(roadway to be “turned back” to Washington County in the future) for their feedback due to its <br />proximity to Highway 61. These discussions and feedback resulted in operational concerns, lack <br />of meeting warrants related to crash history, volume, delays, speed etc., and that the speed <br />reductions would not occur along the length of 125th Street. City staff have met with a number of <br />representatives from the Northern Pines Townhome Association to thank them for bringing this <br />concern forward and to discuss their request. The petitioner is aware this is on the February 3rd <br />City Council agenda for discussion. Staff is recommending approval of the resolution that denies <br />the petition of stop signs placed on 125th Street at Fenway Avenue. <br /> <br />M.1 Schedule HBA State of the City Breakfast on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 <br /> <br />The Council has been invited to attend the annual State of the City breakfast sponsored by the <br />Hugo Area Business Association.
