Business From the Floor Beverly Stoutenberg, 1435 ~est County Road E and Joyce Stradinger, 1426 West Coun ty Road E, presented a petition, requesting the low- ering of the speed on County Road E, between Snelling Avenue and Lexington Ave. from 40 mph to 30 mph, signed by 50::!:. County Rd. E residents and business places. A separate petition reques ting that Council consider putting a bikeway/walkway along County Rd.E between Snelling and Highway 51, was also presented, signed by residents of 13 homes on County Rd. E in this area. (It was explained that corporate signatures were not obtained at businesses such as MSI and Northwestern Bank.) Mayor Woodburn explained that the procedure, required by the State, to change the speed on any street in a municipality is as follows; City petitions the Coun ty, and the Coun ty in turn, petitions the State - all speeds are set by the State Mr. John Bradford, 3200 North Haml ine Ave., s aid he strongly sup- ports the lower speed on County Rd. E. Stoutenberg said that traffic has increased in recent years; an- ticipates a greater increase with the new residential development north of County Rd. E. In discussion, it was noted that when the Hwy. 51/Hamline/Snelling crossover is modified (scheduled for construction in Spring of I B3) , it is anticipated this will also increase traffic on County Rd. E. . I twas explained that requests relating to traffic and speed have routinely been referred to the Public Safety Committee for rec- ommendations; however, it was recalled that the Public Safety Committee made recommendations relative to reduced speed on Cty. Rd. E at the time the County Rd. E improvement was under consid- eration (McNiesh to research this) . Council queried reasons for a four lane road west of Hwy. 51, through a residential area. It was reported that, according to Weltzin (Ramsey County Engineer), it is not a four lane road; side lanes are for parking. In discussion it was noted that the s tree t is marked for a four lane road now; is not striped for bikeway or parking lanes.
