Kcllcv 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 cc'ntinuation of service roads. <br />Mavor 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 N^INDOT vveuild provided the signs if recjuested. <br />Moorse stated that Vasck did not resprmd specifically to that question. He e.xpects to hear <br />from Vasek soon as his people are coming out in the next week or so to e.xplore other <br />possibilities. For example, a flashing light used as an indicator, to be placed about 200 feet <br />before the intersection. <br />Kellcv noted that if Old Crystal Bav Koad would be closed, there would be more bus traffic <br />on Willow during the school year. 11c asked how this problem would be handled so that <br />buses could make the necessary lelt hand turn from Willow. <br />Hurr suggested having police at the intersection and that MNDOI 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 />Mavor 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 />Cioetlen noted that businesses especially don't want the left turn eliminated. <br />Glenn Cook noted that the Mayor of Long I.ake 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 Aat <br />she had asked whether the area could be monitored with a report on progress in six months, <br />'fhe Chief said he could do that. <br />ROOF RFPAIR ( RVSTAI B \^ PO.S I Of KICK <br />It was moved by Hurr. seeonded bv Goetten, to approve the roof repair bid for Plymouth <br />Roofing for an amount of $5.3()().()0.
