Kelley asked if the City of Orono has a long -term game plan as to the flow of traffic. For <br />instance, would the stop light be removed with the eventual continuation of service roads. • <br />Mayor Callahan stated that he didn't believe anyone had a position regarding that. <br />Kelley feels it is important to have a longer range plan in place because it's important to keep <br />Highway 12 flowing. <br />Mr. Peterson asked whether MNDOT would provided the signs if requested. <br />Moorse stated that Vasek did not respond specifically to that question. He expects to hear <br />from Vasek soon as his people are coming out in the next week or so to explore other <br />possibilities. For example, a flashing light used as an indicator, to be placed about 200 feet <br />before the intersection. <br />Kelley noted that if Old Crystal Bay Road would be closed, there would be more bus traffic <br />on Willow during the school year. He asked how this problem would be handled so that <br />buses could make the necessary left hand turn from Willow. <br />Hurr suggested having police at the intersection and that MNDOT should be aware of the <br />situation. <br />Mayor Callahan suggest closing Willow at the same time of closing Old Crystal Bay Road, <br />thereby forcing the traffic down further. <br />Hurr asked what the objections to placing the barrier would be. <br />Mayor Callahan responded that one would be the inability to cross. Additionally, there are • <br />objections from people who are opposed to cutting off the left turn. <br />Goetten noted that businesses especially don't want the left turn eliminated. <br />Glenn Cook noted that the Mayor of Long Lake feels the barrier is not an acceptable solution <br />to the problem. <br />In light of the fact that most drivers disregard warning signs as suggested, Goetten stated that <br />she had asked whether the area could be monitored with a report on progress in six months. <br />The Chief said he could do that. <br />( #18) ROOF REPAIR CRYSTAL BAY POST OFFICE <br />It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Goetten, to approve the roof repair bid for Plymouth <br />Roofing for an amount of $5,300.00.
