ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—JANUARY 22, 2019 2 <br /> Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka commented if she was walking on that trail, she <br /> would stop before stepping out onto the street because even though pedestrians have the right of <br /> way, cars do not always stop. She recommended the City continue to educate the public on <br /> pedestrian safety. <br /> Jordan Horejsi, HR Green, discussed the pros and cons of flashing lights near crosswalks. He <br /> explained the refuge could be combined with the flashing lights, but noted this would be a more <br /> expensive option. He commented the refuge would tell drivers something was different when <br /> approaching the crosswalk and may be safer than what was currently there. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated she feared drivers would only view the flashing light and not the <br /> pedestrian. She explained it was State law to stop for pedestrians within a crosswalk. She <br /> recommended the Sheriff sit in this area and hand out tickets in order educate residents on this <br /> law. <br /> Councilmember Holmes commented on flashing lights along County Road E2 near the <br /> elementary school. She noted these lights were not flashing all the time, but rather when students <br /> needed to cross the street to get to school. She was of the opinion traffic obeyed the flashing <br /> lights and were more cautious of pedestrians due to how that particular light functioned. <br /> Councilmember McClung agreed but noted the speed of traffic along County Road E2 was <br /> slower than along Hamline Avenue. He indicated the higher rate of speed along Hamline Avenue <br /> may impact driver's ability to stop for pedestrians. <br /> Councilmember Scott reported he supported the pedestrian refuge at both pedestrian <br /> intersections with flashing lights at the trail crossing. <br /> Councilmember McClung agreed with this recommendation. <br /> Mr. Horejsi stated he liked the combination of the pedestrian refuge and flashing lights. <br /> Councilmember Holden commented she was pleased the County was willing to pay for half of <br /> the pedestrian crossing expenses. <br /> Mayor Grant asked if the Council supported this item moving forward for approval. <br /> Council consensus was to direct staff to bring this item back for approval at an upcoming Council <br /> meeting. <br /> B. Tobacco Discussion <br /> City Clerk Hanson explained that the Council first discussed potentially amending the City's <br /> tobacco ordinance at its August 20, 2018 work session, followed by the opportunity for vendor <br /> comment at its October 15, 2018, work session, and an additional public comment opportunity at <br /> a November 13, 2018 public hearing. <br />
