ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - MAY 17, 2021 9 does on the side streets. He would be OK with one side of New Brighton Road marked no parking. The corner of Pine Tree Drive needs to be shut down because of the buses taking that route. Mayor Grant noted that Jerrold, Edgewater, Glen Paul and Prior are all being redone and the construction will coincide with State Fair parking. No vehicles can be parked on those roads. Deputy Sheriff Casey felt there wasn't a lot of State Fair parking on Glen Paul or Prior. Jerrold and Edgewater are used heavily. Mayor Grant said they are probably going to have to tow vehicles in the construction area. Deputy Sheriff Casey recommended the signs in the construction area be marked "No Parking, Tow -Away Zone". After discussion, the Council was in agreement to mark the construction area as a tow -away zone. Staff will discuss wording with the City Attorney. Councilmember Holden asked if the Sheriff's office would be open to having parking on one side of New Brighton Road. Deputy Sheriff Casey said they would need to talk to the County. City Administrator Perrault asked if the County is open to the City signing one side of the road, would that be the Council's directions to staff? Mayor Grant said that was the general consensus. If they notify the State Fair that the surrounding neighborhood will be under reconstruction they may choose to not operate that particular park and ride. Councilmember Holden added that there should be signs a little farther north on Benton Way. E. PTRC Discussion City Administrator Perrault noted that trail priorities and work plans will be brought forward to a future meeting. This discussion is for current issues with the PTRC. Mayor Grant said there were issues in regard to a park bench donated by State Farm, and appropriateness of what some of the PTRC members are doing. Councilmember Holden was surprised to find out the PTRC is limiting themselves to trails. She has a list of 13 things she believes should be in the work plan for PTRC. She assumes the Council liaison will bring those issues to them. Mayor Grant said he could bring the list to the PTRC. Councilmember Holden didn't like the PTRC assigning staff work when they are supposed to be a working committee. She felt there was more the committee could be doing in recreation areas.
