TOWNLINE ROAD INFORMATIONAL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR APRIL 12, 1999 <br />Jabbour said that if Orono objects to the project, Mn/DOT will not participate in the project. <br />O'Keefe said Mn/DOT would like some kind of reaction from the City. <br />Jabbour asked if Mn/DOT will go ahead with the project if Orono objects to it. <br />O'Keefe said it probably would not be done this summer, but it would be pursued with a <br />more formal public involvement campaign. <br />Jabbour asked if there are other vehicles available to Mn/DOT to force this project on the <br />City of Orono. <br />J <br />O'Keefe said yes. <br />Kelley said there has not been enough planning done on the concept and he cannot take a <br />position at this time. <br />The resident who lives at the corner of Watertown Road and Townline asked about the <br />feasibility of a temporary semaphore at Townline and Highway 12 to see if that works. <br />O'Keefe said that the cost of a temporary semaphore is the same as a permanent signal. That • <br />option would also require turn lanes. <br />Jabbour said he concurs with Kelley. He wants more detail before taking any action. He is <br />concerned about the lack of input from the City of Independence being taken as consent. <br />Jack Vigoren said the issue about the intersection is safety. He would like a light at the <br />intersection as soon as possible. <br />6-1 en <br />Qkif'Slaughter, Highway 12, said he works in Hamel and travels Highway 12 and County <br />Road 19. He is concerned about safety and wants a stop light at the intersection. <br />Meeting adjourned at 6:50 p.m. <br />ATTEST: <br />Linda S. Vee, City Clerk Gabriel Jabbour, Mayor <br />Page 4 <br />
