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