In discussion, it was suggested by Mr. Timm (Public Safety Com- mittee member) that Mr. Salitrosbe advised of the $75,000-$85,000 semaphore cost and invite him to attend a Council mee~tng to dis- cuss alternatives. It was reported that Dave Lissner (Bethel College) has discussed signage with former Councilmsn M. Johnson to effect- ively direct traffic to Bethel College entrance on Old Highway 10. It was noted that it is a "driving courtesy" to let cars on Hamline . into the traffic lane, and a "traffic law" to not block an inter- section. It was the general concensus of Council that an acceptable solution to Salitros' problem ie not apparent; the recommended additional semaphore, "no right turn" sign and additional directional signs are not considered acceptable. Matter was deferred pending remarks from Salitros. . No Parking Sign - Arden View Drive Council was referred to Public Safety Committee recommendations (Minutes of 7/18/83 meeting).
