SEMAPHORE; HWY 96 & HAMLINE AVENUE Barney Palmer, 1300 Nursery Hill Lane, requested Council consideration of placement of a semaphore at the intersection of Highway 96 and Hamline Avenue. McNiesh advised Palmer the matter had been placed on the agenda for Council consideration. RES. #88-22; REQUEST SEMAPHORE, HWY 96 & HAMLINE AVENUE Acting Clerk Administrator McNiesh reported to Council she had received a request from Barney Palmer, 1300 Nursery Hill Lane, for consideration of placement of a semaphore at the intersection of Hwy 96 and Hamline Ave. McNiesh explained she had contacted KnDot and they advised there are 115 intersections that have warrants for a semaphore and Arden Hills was 41st on the priority list. Kermit McRae, District Engineer at KnDot, suggested Arden Hills could move up the priority list if Council submitted a resolution requesting the semaphore installation. McNiesh drafted the proposed resolution requesting the semaphore be installed in 1988, however, she was _advised that the actual installation may not be started until 1989. Hansen moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve Resolution No. 88-22, Requesting MN DOT To Install Semaphore at STH 96 and Hamline Avenue. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) Council questioned the costs for installation. McNiesh stated that Arden Hills might pay half the cost of installation because there are two legs on a State highway; when she questioned the roadway that goes into the Arsenal property, which is not a City road. they did not know how that would be charged. She advised the approximate cost for installation would be $100,000.00 and there would be a yearly charge for electricity and maintenance. She further stated that this item could be budgeted for 1989 and if installation began in 1988 it may be possible to defer payment until 1989. Barney Palmer thanked the Council for the opportunity to be on the agenda and stated if the citizens can help speed the process he would be willing to head a citizen effort; there was discussion of a letter campaign or submitting a petition to MnDot.
