<br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />engineer did advise and I made the recommendation that Floral <br />Drive should be connected to Royal Lane. Based on that recom- <br />mendation and the length of the cul-de-sacs, one of the things <br />the traffic engineer stated, in addition to the traffic figures <br />I read off earlier, was that he did not see any particular in- <br />crease in the traffic problem - real heavy traffic problems. <br />There again, traffic engineers look at traffic differently <br />than a resident would. They're looking at large volumes. As <br />far as Floral Drive or Colleen Avenue, these two streets are <br />really not that unusual, although individual people are having <br />problems. The real problem seems to be - and what I'm hearing <br />tonight - is Hamline Avenue. Access onto Hamline Avenue - it's <br />a narrow street. In the future, when Hamline Avenue is up- <br />graded, I would suspect it would be widened to a point where <br />people would have 'better access. A good example of that is <br />Lexington Avenue South. I don't know if any of you have <br />driven that or had driven it prior to the widening, but just <br />by the fact of widening Lexington Avenue, it made it much <br />easier to drive. It made it much easier for people living <br />by Lexington Avenue to get on and off. There was a lot of <br />concern about how wide that street was going to be. But it has <br />proved to be pretty satisfactory to move traffic. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: Mrs. Zehm, can you paraphrase for us the <br />planner's recommendation? <br /> <br />MRS. ZEHM: I don't know if I can paraphrase it, but I <br />think he recommends pretty strongly that the road connection <br />be made because of extremely long cul-de-sacs and for the <br />movement of school buses and fire trucks and police. <br /> <br />MAN IN AUDIENCE: Who is Glen Wormer? <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: Glen Van Wormer works with Short-Elliott- <br />Hendrickson. He did work with the State of Minnesota as a <br />regional traffic engineer. I think he may have been the head <br />traffic engineer. He's the one that wrote the traffic report. <br /> <br />MAN IN AUDIENCE: Because he says right here that he ' <br />found the traffic did not demand such a connec~ion for effi- <br />ciency or safety. He also stated that virtually all emergency <br />service vehicles come from Hamline into the development. The <br />access is not absolutely needed. That would contradict . . . <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: There are two reports from him. <br /> <br />MAN IN AUDIENCE: I'm reading the latest one. <br /> <br />ADELE ANDERSON" Park Department: I don't mean to <br />be picking on Mr. Eibensteiner, but is he planning to pay to <br />the parks fund the monies that would be necessary to restore <br />the park, to move the facilities that exist now, to redesign <br />or whatever we have to do to replan the park, to make it what <br />we consider somewhat restored and somewhat useful? We do <br />have a little problem in the front area, conflicting with the <br /> <br />24 <br />
