Due to concerns of pedestrian safety in <br /> these areas, staff had HR Green complete an analysis and provide recommendations. <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka provided the Council with a summary of the <br /> recommendations regarding the locations of Wyncrest Court and also mid-block between Indian <br /> Oaks Circle and Eide Circle: <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka stated H.R. Green also considered the LED <br /> flashing beacons that are activated by pedestrians (similar to those on Old Snelling at Bethel <br /> Drive) and does not recommend utilizing the signs at these locations as detailed in the report. She <br /> reported she spoke with the County regarding these pedestrian improvements and explained the <br /> County may be willing to share the cost 50/50. <br /> Councilmember McClung indicated he was pleased there was something the City could do. He <br /> questioned if the mid-block crosswalk would be effective. <br />
