The Three River police are regularly patrolling the area and <br /> cautioning the bikers to stop before crossing the road. Wyatt indicated that Three Rivers is encountering <br /> similar problems on other trails. McMillan noted the trail is well used. <br /> Bremer stated the trail signage located on Shadywood is incorrect and contains typographical errors. <br /> White suggested Bremer contact Sarah Wyatt. <br /> Murphy noted he attended a meeting with Mn/DOT on Friday and that the schedule for overlay is to let <br /> the job in early September,commence the work on September 28''',and finish the work in October. The <br /> work will begin at Highway 6 on the west end and go through Orono and Long Lake to the azea where the <br /> overlay has already been completed, and then continue east of that area. <br /> Murphy stated the work will meet ADA requirements,which will result in all crosswalks being replaced. <br /> Murphy commented there will be some difficulties encountered by motorists and business owners since <br /> the work will be undertaken during the day and the fact that traffic will not be detoured.Mn/DOT is also <br /> working on replacing the temporary orange signs and that the Orono/I,ong Lake retail community has <br /> agreed on the signs they would like erected. Murphy indicated the sign work will be completed by next <br /> spring. <br /> Kellogg stated he and Gaffron reviewed the plans this morning. <br /> Gaffron indicated they did find six or eight minor items that need to be corrected and that he will be <br /> following up with Mn/DOT in the morning. <br /> Murphy reported there will be a full turning access connecting Industrial Boulevard around the Sherwin <br /> Williams paint store. <br /> McMillan asked if Police Chief Farniok is okay with that. <br /> Murphy indicated in his opinion he is. Murphy noted he also requested the engineer review whether the <br /> nose of the median piece is necessary and whether it could be shortened so it does not extend towards the <br /> bridge any further, which would allow the motorists to make a left turn out of the Montessori School. <br /> Kuruvilla indicated he would like to meet with someone from Mn/DOT and that he would prefer the nose <br /> actually be eliminated totally. <br /> PAGE 7 <br />
