Ring Route <br /> (Continued) <br /> Mayor Van PJest: Two-lane. Fiennepin County r►ight <br /> take this over soMeday. Our standards are for <br /> two-lane construction. <br /> Chuck Larson: tJhat is speed design? <br /> P�iayor Van Nest: 55 miles per hour. <br /> Chuck Larson: East of Long Lake speed limit is <br /> 40 miles per hour. <br /> Mayor Van Nest: This is a State function and will <br /> certainly be reviewed. <br /> Leo Pollock, 3640 Northern Avenue: I would not <br /> have purchased my property in this area if I would <br /> have known about this proposal. Tt does not seer.t <br /> rational to increase traffic to Long Lake and funnel <br /> into a 40 mile per hour street. <br /> Councilmember Paurus : The planning and future of <br /> State Fiighway #12 will take years to develop. <br /> D4ayor Van Nest: Everyone should be aware that this <br /> is the third public hearing on this matter and has <br /> been discussed for many years. <br /> John t4enge, 320 Turnham Road: Hennepin County <br /> will build what! when! <br /> P�ayor Van Nest: 1980 r�Iound to County Road #151. <br /> In the future, Iiennepin County will build from <br /> County Road ;�110 to County Road #151 and connect <br /> to our ring route and take our ring route over if <br /> desired at that time. <br /> John P�ienge: Why can' t we coordinate with Hennepin <br /> County in 1980? <br /> P�ayor Van Nest: We are now coordinating with <br /> Hennepin County. They are now acquiring right- <br /> of-way. <br /> Bernard Kogan, Long Lake: I understand your <br /> intentions but Fiighway #12 , County Road u6 and <br /> Watertown Road will suffer from additional traffic. . <br /> Peak hours will be impossible and will create <br /> tremendous problems for other people on other <br /> roads. The present situation is easier now than <br /> your proposal. I never heard of an accident where <br /> the traffic is going now. <br /> Robert Compton, 4545 �aatertown Road: I don' t want <br /> to have the road go through my property and r.►y back <br /> yard. I chose my area because of existing traffic. <br /> (Continued) <br />
