SUMMARY OF FEBRUARY 4,1999 COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />entrance to eastbound Highway 12 and a long deceleration lane on westbound Highway 12 <br />approaching the interchange. <br />It was also determined that Mn/DOT should acquire enough right-of-way on the south side of the <br />bridge to enable a future four lane roadway section from the bridge to the current County Road 6 <br />right-of-way. <br />Mayor Jabbour suggested a meeting be scheduled with Hennepin County and Mn/DOT to discuss <br />the County Road 6 and Highway 12 interchange. This meeting needs to include Vem Genslinger <br />and Jim Gnibe from the County, Patti Token and/or Tom O'Keefe from Mn/DOT, Mayor Jabbour <br />and Denny Eiler. Councilmember Kelley has indicated he also wants to be involved in the meeting. <br />The Park Lane/Orono Orchard Road connection was discussed in terms of possible traffic calming. <br />The City of Orono has proposed a 90° intersection connection to slow down traffic. Denny Eiler <br />suggested making the curve very sharp and placing a median between the lanes to prevent drivers <br />from cutting across the curve. Denny indicated slowing westbound traffic at this curve would be <br />advantageous because there is a short sight distance from the curve to the first local street <br />intersection with Park Lane.
