ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — August 19, 2019 5 <br />Mr. Weser said if it were made a right turn lane there would be additional property impacts at <br />Goodwill. <br />Councilmember Holden noted that if you are at Shannon Square you'll have to drive through the <br />Cub parking lot in order to go left onto Lexington. <br />Mr. Weser responded yes, they want people to use the signal. <br />Councilmember McClung said when you're heading southbound there is a new right turn lane at <br />Red Fox, Lexington Station, and Grey Fox but not at County Road E. He felt that would be a <br />problem. <br />Mr. Weser said they looked at that from a traffic standpoint and saw the benefit in keeping that a <br />through right. <br />Mayor Grant said if they put a dedicated right they would gain more capacity for stacking <br />between County Road E and the railroad track. He would like to see an additional right turn lane <br />added. <br />Councilmember McClung added that you normally see people backed up in the right turn lane to <br />go onto County Road E. <br />Mr. Weser said he appreciates the discussion. It could be made a dedicated right in part because <br />the lane drops out after County Road E. <br />Councilmember Holden said with taking out the left hand turn at Shannon Square, everyone will <br />have to go right. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said the designers could evaluate the <br />lane drop north of the intersection or look at options to get an additional right turn lane. <br />Mayor Grant clarified that coming out of Grey Fox there is a dedicated left coming out onto <br />Lexington, that is signalized. Also, coming out of Lexington Station Phase 3 there isn't a <br />dedicated right but you could make a right. <br />Mr. Weser said there could be a three lane situation depending on how much room is there after <br />the development is done. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom felt adding a dedicated right turn <br />lane out of Lexington Station at Target Road would definitely increase the capacity of the <br />intersection. Especially if Big O Tires and Arby's are added to the intersection. <br />Councilmember Holmes wants to get rid of the driveway to TCF from Lexington. <br />Mr. Weser said the County traffic staff doesn't want the driveway but there is a previous <br />agreement with Shoreview to not take it out. <br />Councilmember Holden asked about the radius on Red Fox being wide enough for trucks. <br />
