ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 9. 1998 9 Councilmember Aplikowski stated she is concerned about the traffic congestion that may result and is wiling to agree with the patrol officer and lane striping as suggested. She stated until there is a firm estimate she would not support considering a "cap" and believes that would be premature to consider at this time. Councilmember Keirn asked if a turn lane would increase traffic on Highway 10 and support the Mn/DOT proposal for a flyover of Highway 10. Mr. Brown stated identifYing a left turn and right turn on Round Lake Road would be a good option to consider.

Mr. Fritsinger reported on the status of closing relationship with Howard Green. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Aplikowski requested that a five-year plan be created when the streets are reevaluated so it can be on display for residents to better understand the timing of street improvements. Mayor Probst reported on the meeting held this past week and discussion about the athletic field complex. He explained it has been determined there is no location that would serve this need except the TCAAP facility. Also, the Comprehensive Plan identified that area for this type of facility. Mayor Probst estimated the City is probably two to three years away from getting that land. He advised there will be further discussion and more information will be available in April or May. Mayor Probst advised the Community Park and Recreation Directors were asked to look at all of the facilities in their community and identifY where opportunities exist or where areas could be converted or expanded to make better use of those facilities.
