AGENDA ITEMS <br /> A. Hamline Avenue Crosswalks and Retaining Walls <br /> Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom provided an overview of the <br /> Hamline Avenue pedestrian crossing project. He stated that one crosswalk is located at Wyncrest <br /> Court, and the second is about 1200 feet to the south at Floral Park. The retaining wall is located <br /> on both sides of Indian Oaks Trail. The existing crosswalk at Wyncrest is marked as a pedestrian <br /> crossing with a ramp on the west side but no ADA compliant facilities on the east side. The <br /> crossing at Floral Park is marked and has ramps on both sides. He noted previous discussions <br /> included installing center medians, changing the crosswalk configurations, additional signage and <br /> possible addition of a rectangular rapid flashing beacon. There was a design review meeting with <br /> Ramsey County staff and the consultant has final plans for the project. <br /> HRGreen Representative Horejsi referenced the handout and previous information that had <br /> been provided, along with the completed plans. He stated the ramp on the northwest quadrant will <br /> be replaced with full curb and the crossing will be removed. There will be a new ramp on the <br /> south side, including a pedestrian refuge, and a median refuge was added to the Floral crossing. <br /> HRGreen Representative Horejsi drew a cross section of the pedestrian refuge and described it <br /> in more detail. <br />
