Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Re: CSAH 15 Striping Alternatives <br />December 12, 1994 <br />DEC 2 9 W®* <br />. . :>o <br />Dear Mr. Gerhardson: <br />In the fall of 1993, as a result of complaints of traffic backing up on westbound <br />CSAH 15 at CSAH 51, Hennepin County staff and the City of Spring Park began <br />looking into striping alternatives from east of CSAH 51 to CSAH 125. <br />Prior to approving any changes, the Spring Park City Council requested County <br />staff to ask the cities of Mound and Orono whether or not they were interested in <br />making any striping changes in their respective jurisdictions. <br />Based on our meeting of October 5, 1994 with you, Mr. Ron Moorse, and Mr. Jerry <br />Smrcka, the City of Orono staff has decided not to pursue any change at this <br />time. <br />For the record, Mr. Ed Shukle, Mound City Manager, has informed the County that <br />the Mound City Council is interested in making some minor striping changes from <br />Wilshire Blvd. to Bartlett Blvd. This segment is basically two lanes and <br />transforms into a three lane center two-way left turn segment at Bartlett Blvd., <br />near the east city limits. To the west of Wilshire Blvd. a four lane roadway <br />exists. The proposed plan would extend this section to the east about 750 to <br />Fairview Lane. From Fairview Lane to the in-place three lane segment <br />(approximately 2000') the roadway would become a new three lane segment, <br />eliminating any two lane areas in the City of Hound on CSAH 15. <br />By copy of this letter. County staff is planning on informing Spring Park of the <br />positions of Mound and Orono. <br />Please inform me as soon as possible if 1 have misinterpreted Orono’s position on <br />this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jh^etlbre J.
