ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – MAY 16, 2022 5 Councilmember Holmes felt that was the nature of a dog park, that dogs will get wet and muddy if it has rained. Mayor Grant said the mud issue will be somewhat reduced by putting in the concrete entryway. It would be nice to have a water hose there. City Administrator Perrault thought it would be most cost efficient to put a hose at the shelter and a sign pointing to the shelter. Councilmember Holden wondered how many tables or benches would be needed if they built a shade structure. The structure could be like the one at Ingerson Park. Mayor Grant said it wouldn’t have to have a concrete floor. Councilmember Radziej added they could start with class 5 rock and if that doesn’t work they could add concrete down the line. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he would do more research and bring his findings back to the next work session. Councilmember Radziej suggested they ask the Boy Scouts to help. Mayor Grant said there was a request to segregate an area at Perry Park for small dogs, and that could be a future project for the county workers. He asked staff to put picnic tables inside the dog park at Hazelnut Park, and noted the shelter at Perry Park would only need to be large enough for two picnic tables. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he has a list of suggested tree species. Mayor Grant asked staff to send the findings to Council before the meeting it would be discussed at. D. Highway 96/Old Highway 10 Speed Sign Update Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated that Public Works had installed a speed feedback sign along Highway 51 southbound, two signs were purchased rather than install the second sign on the northbound lane, Council suggested installing it along Highway 96. Ramsey County Engineers said they would support a sign at any point along Highway 96. Staff’s recommended location is just east of the Holiday gas station but before the Highway 10 bridge. Mayor Grant said the justification for a sign along that area is that the traffic is rising to the intersection, and because of the fatalities that happened at that intersection. Councilmember Holden wondered if it would slow traffic down once they go past it? Councilmember Radziej said anytime there is something flashing your eyes are drawn toward it so it would be a reminder to slow down. He supported the sign on Highway 96.
