AGENDA ITEMS <br /> <br />A. Red Fox Road – Lexington Avenue Intersection <br /> <br />Joe Lux, Ramsey County, provided the Council with an update on the Lexington Avenue and Red <br />Fox intersection operations and possible improvements to deal with congestion. He noted he has <br />held several discussions with County and MnDOT staff. He explained he had visited this <br />intersection during the lunch hour on several occasions. He expressed concern with the number of <br />vehicles that were running red lights. He then reviewed several potential scenarios that could be <br />tried to improve traffic at this intersection. He indicated the County would like to wait to make <br />any changes until the right turn lanes were constructed. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro-Tem Holden expressed concern with the amount of truck traffic that would be <br />funneling through this intersection to get to I-694. <br /> <br />Mr. Lux understood this was the crux of the issue. He discussed how the intersection was being <br />impacted as the area around it continues to develop. He indicated the County would continue to <br />monitor this intersection and the lights.
