AGENDA ITEMS <br /> <br />A. Ramsey County Transportation Update <br /> <br />Joe Lux, Ramsey County Senior Planner, indicated in the spring of 2016, a right turn lane will be <br />added on northbound Lexington Avenue for eastbound I-694 traffic, and also a right turn lane will be <br />added on southbound Lexington Avenue for westbound I-694 traffic. He said that MnDOT created a <br />model that showed improvement in operations but noted that this area is complicated by the Red Fox <br />Road westbound right turn traffic volume. He also said Ramsey County is considering the installation <br />of a right turn, red arrow at the traffic signal (for westbound traffic on Red Fox Road at Lexington <br />Avenue) and that this will be further reviewed with the County’s technicians.
