TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2016
PRESENT: Klein, Miron, Petryk, Weidt
ABSENT: Haas
ALSO PRESENT: City Administrator Bryan Bear, WSB Engineers Jim Stremel and Lydia
Larson, and Senior Engineering Technician Steve Duff
An open house was held in the Oneka Room at City Hall for residents along the 147th
Street/Oneka Lake Boulevard to discuss the street reconstruction project. The residents were able
to view the construction plans and ask questions of staff regarding proposed construction.
There were 15 residents that attended the open house. Some of the issues voiced by residents
included concerns regarding the speed of traffic on the roadway, school bus pick up area at
Foxhill Avenue North and 147th Street, and there was a desire to see a crosswalk installed. A
resident on Glenbrook Avenue North thought a connection to the trail at Glenbrook would be
nice, as people currently walk through his yard to get on the trail. He stated he was willing to
give the City an easement over his property to construct the connection. Residents questioned the
timing of construction, and staff responded that it was anticipated construction would begin after
the 4th of July holiday. Residents in attendance were positive and looking forward to the project
being completed.
The meeting started at 5:30 pm and completed by 7:00 pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Steve Duff
Senior Engineering Technician
