Following <br />an exchange of letters, the City Council invited Commissioner Frethem to attend a work session <br />and have a discussion. Commissioner Frethem will be present at this meeting. The letters <br />exchanged are attached to this e-mail (Attachments A thru C). It is worth noting that the Ramey <br />County Deputies that provide police protection to the City of Arden Hills spend approximately <br />25 percent of their time on Lake Johanna Blvd as it historically has an issue with speed and other <br />dangerous driving conditions. A heat map of their citations issued for 2019 is attached for <br />reference (see Attachment D). Lastly, the County has recently issued an RFP for a corridor study, <br />which includes Lake Johanna Blvd. This corridor study would evaluate potential projects along <br />the road, the County may also want to provide an update on this item, too.
