This issue <br />has been reviewed by the City of Orono in the past, as noted in <br />the attached memorandum. Xt has again been requested to be <br />addressed by Mr. David Singer, 3520 North Shore Drive, whose <br />letter is enclosed in that memo. The Orono City Council at its <br />September 28, 1988 meeting requested that staff discuss with <br />Hennepin County the possible solutions to alleviate some of the <br />safety concerns that have been raised. <br />The City, at the County's earliest convenience would like to <br />ait down and review the issue. Possible options to address which, <br />include, but are not limited to the following: <br />1. ) Widening of the road up to 3 feet. <br />2. ) 2oubie striping ‘-er'/een tr.s parking and the "fog line", <br />3. } Removal of up to 3 parking spaces to improve sight line <br />distance. <br />4. ) Installation of pedestrian marked crosswalks. <br />5. ) Extension of "Ho Parking" to account for sight lines when <br />there is parking on zhe south. <br />In addition to the safety issues are is the general issue of <br />public access parking and the inter-relationship to parking with <br />Hennepin County's North Arm access. <br />BUILDING a ZONING - 473-7U7 <br />assessing <br />administration a finance - 473*73i«PUBLIC WORKS - 473-7339
