WUNUL MEETING <br />14AR 1419H <br />TO: Mayor Grabek and Councilmembers 'MT OF ORONO <br />City Administrator Bernhardson <br />PROM: John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Director <br />DATE: March 8, 1988 <br />BOBJS Crosswalk Procedures - Hennepin County Roads <br />Currently the City of Orono has established a crosswalk in the <br />Navarre area near Keaveny's on o,ie side of County Rd. 15 and <br />D'Vinci's Pizza on the other side. <br />The crosswalk was established at that location because the MTC <br />bus shelter is located in Keaveny's parking lot and it is in a <br />direct line to the Navarre parking lot in which there is <br />designated 25 Park i Ride parking stalls. <br />To establish a crosswalk on a County Road requires Hennepin <br />County approval. The County will install one sign facing each <br />direction at the crosswalk. It is then the City's responsibility <br />to paint the crosswalk and install and maintain additional <br />marking such as flashing yellow lights. <br />With the upcoming reconstruction of County Road 15, additional <br />right-of-way must be acquired from Keaveny in the area of the MTC <br />shelter location. Therefore, there is the possibility that the <br />shelter may have to be relocated. We are awaiting the outcome of <br />the negotiations between Hennepin County and Mr. Keaveny to <br />determine for certain that the shelter must be relocated. The <br />sheiter location will have a direct impact as to the location of <br />a crosswalk in the area. <br />Recommendation to accept the information regarding crosswalk <br />procedures and to direct staff to continue efforts to maintain <br />the MTC shelter in its present location if possible. <br />PROPOSED NOTION: moved, seconded, to accept the <br />information regarding crosswalk procedures and direct staff to <br />continue efforts to maintain the MTC shelter in its present <br />location. Ayes _, Mays <br />
