ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 <br />2 <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to approve the Consent Calendar as amended removing Items 7H and <br />7J and to authorize execution of all necessary documents contained therein. <br />The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br />8. PULLED CONSENT ITEMS <br />A. Motion to Approve WSB Scope and Cost Estimate for Lake Valentine <br />Roadway Improvement Recommendation Study <br />Councilmember Holmes believed the proposal was not as comprehensive as it should be for the <br />work to be completed. She supported data being collected for the school speed zone and traffic <br />numbers, but recommended more focus be placed on how pedestrian traffic will impact this area. <br />She recommended the Council hold a meeting with staff and the engineers prior to the study being <br />completed. <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained staff has been working <br />closely with the school district. He noted staff would be meeting onsite with school staff on <br />Tuesday, September 24 to discuss evening traffic, lighting and pedestrian concerns. He indicated <br />staff has also been working closely with WSB on this proposal. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained WSB was aware of the <br />pedestrian concerns for this project. He agreed this may not be reflected in the words within the <br />proposal scope for services but noted WSB was extremely aware of the need to coordinate <br />pedestrian safety. He explained WSB could be involved in additional engagement meetings if this <br />was the desire of the Council, but noted Shawn Delmore, the lead engineer, has been in <br />communication with the school. <br />Councilmember Holmes stated she would like to see a meeting held between WSB, staff and the <br />City Council to review potential concepts prior to this item moving forward. She understood the <br />bridge idea was not popular, but she believed this was the safest solution. She explained she <br />would like to see this option further vetted. She expressed concern with the fact the proposal did <br />not better explain how the pedestrian issues would be addressed. <br />Councilmember Holden commented the Council had vetted a bridge concept with school <br />representatives and there were concerns with the overall cost and expense for future maintenance. <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported this was the case noting the <br />grade of the road would also make a pedestrian bridge extremely difficult to install. He stated a <br />light or hawk system would be considered through the proposed study. He indicated the study <br />would provide the City with 20 -year projections on traffic volumes. <br />Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom commented the City could request <br />an additional meeting with WSB between the data collection period and the concept development <br />stage. <br />
