ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—FEBRUARY 16, 2016 2 <br /> Mayor Pro-Tern Holden was concerned with Arden Hills' residents and business owners being <br /> able to get in and out in a timely manner. <br /> Mr. Lux stated the business owners that are developing now were willing to contribute to <br /> intersection improvements. Due to the fact there were no obvious solutions, in the interim options <br /> would continue to be considered by the County. <br /> Councilmember McClung questioned how long the County would wait given the fact status quo <br /> was no longer acceptable. He stated the City was not comfortable with waiting and wanted to <br /> understand the County's plans. <br /> Mr. Lux believed if the County was able to gather several more opinions regarding the concerns <br /> at this intersection he would have a better understanding on how to proceed. He did not anticipate <br /> the County would want to wait much longer than a few weeks after the construction was <br /> completed. <br /> Councilmember McClung understood the County was proposing both some short-term and long- <br /> term solutions for the intersection. He asked when the County's project would be completed. <br /> Mr. Lux hoped the Lexington Avenue project would be completed by the second week of August. <br /> He commented further on the short-term and long-term solutions for the intersection. He <br /> anticipated that the short-term fixes could be in place by October 1. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she was tired of receiving phone calls from local businesses <br /> complaining about this intersection. She wanted to see a solution from the County that would <br /> address the City's concerns prior to October 1. <br /> Mr.Lux commented the County could continue to adjust the signal light timing. <br /> Mayor Grant indicated the signal light tweaking led to only fractional improvements. It was his <br /> hope a second signal could be added to the south end of Target. He believed this would improve <br /> the traffic in the area. <br /> Mr. Lux explained Target was not agreeable to participating financially in an additional light, but <br /> noted the Lexington Station developer was. He reported he could contact these businesses again. <br /> He provided further comment on how to address the Red Fox Road/Lexington Avenue <br /> intersection and indicated it would be difficult to prohibit right turns on red at this intersection. <br /> He stated he could speak with the sheriff about patrolling this intersection to reduce the number of <br /> vehicles running red lights. <br /> Mayor Grant supported the County exploring the addition of another light on the south side of <br /> Target. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding the flow of traffic in and around the Red Fox Road and <br /> Lexington Avenue intersection. <br />
