Several complaints were received due to signage <br />spacing and placement. Staff met with Rich Clark and Mike Casey from the Ramsey County <br />Sheriff’s Office to discuss possible solutions and revisions for 2018. <br /> <br />At the October 16, 2017 Council work session, both Public Works staff and a representative from <br />the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office presented Council with the following recommendations: <br /> <br />• Place more signs along the no parking areas. Shoreview uses cardboard signs on wooden <br />stakes and places them approximately every 10-15 feet. By doing this, it assists the <br />Sheriff’s office with defensible citations. <br />• Add additional no parking signs along the west side of Pine Tree Drive just south of County <br />Road E to keep the intersection clear. <br />• Paint the curbs at all of the intersection radii yellow to prevent vehicles from parking too <br />close to the intersections creating sight distance problems. <br />• Public Works staff will meet with the Sheriff’s office in 2018 on-site to ensure proper sign <br />placement. <br /> <br />With the exception of painting the intersection radii curbs, Council directed staff to follow the <br />recommendations in 2018. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A.
