It was noted that the <br />length of review time prior to Council review is resulting in applications being extended <br />beyond the 60-day period. <br />Goetten said a report is being prepared to send to Mn/DOT regarding the Hwy 12/CoRd <br />6 intersection. She asked for Council comments. <br />Kelley said his main concern is with the evening traffic traveling westbound on CoRd 6. <br />He would like to see an acceleration lane dedicated to the traffic coming off of Hwy 12 <br />onto CoRd 6 to eliminate the need for these cars to stop. Goetten said that issue has not <br />been discussed. Jabbour noted that metering may occur in the future. Goetten said she <br />would discuss the matter with Tom O’Keefe. <br />Kelley said he would also argue that the castbound traffic is Just as critical if trav'eling <br />east on CoRd 6 to the interchange and needing to make a right turn onto a ramp. He <br />suggested the lane angle off to provide for stacking. Goetten said the plans were to make <br />the interchange as safe as possible with the least e.xpense. Kelley felt it would be short ­ <br />sighted of Mn/DOT to build a substandard road. He believes there will be a need for four <br />lanes in the next 20 years. Goetten said \1n/DOT believes they are responding to the <br />future needs. She suggested l orn O’Keefe meet with Council on this issue Jabbour <br />agreed this would be a good idea.
