Ayes: 4, <br />Navs 0. <br />(#17) HK;IIWAY 12 & WILLOW INTERSECTION <br />Moorse explained that he talked with Dob Va.sek with MNDOT regarding the ide^ from the <br />meeting. One sugge.slion was to place "no left turn" signs at that intersection during rush <br />hours. Mr. Vasek indieateil that generally that type of signage docs not deter people from <br />making turns and its use would require cvMilinuc'us ei.loreeinent. Another idea^ <br />was to install a sign saying "sigruil > air turn" biit that would not have a significant impact. <br />Regaiding phvsieal barriers, Mr. Va.sek understood the option was not a serious consideration. <br />This would be the best optiim, however, to restrict left hand turns. <br />Goetten a.sked about the cost of installing the barriers. <br />Moorse had inquired and found that Mr. Vasek is Umking into the costs. <br />Hurr asked if drivers could cn>ss the street and was told that crossing would be restricted as <br />well.
