Sather moved, seconded by Hicks, that Council approve the installation of the street light at 1600 Lake Johanna Blvd. Motion carried (Sather, Peck, Woodburn voting in favor; Hicks voting in opposition).

Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) Four-Way Stop Sign - County Road E/New Brighton Road It was noted that a four-way "Stop" sign at this intersection will require Ramsey County, City of New Brighton and City of Arden Hills approval. It was noted that New Brighton is requesting a study of traffic accidents and a traffic count at the intersection. Sather said he has experienced heavy New Brighton Road traffic between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.; noted that, because of Perry Park, traffic has increased between 5:00 and 9:30 p.m. Sather noted that the traffic lanes are restricted under the railroad bridge; feels a four-way stop at County Road E would help to slow the traffic between County Roads D and E-2. Sheri Koehntopp said she works at New Brighton Road and County Road E, and . has witnessed many accidents at that corner; noted that the problem seems to be the traffic coming onto New Brighton Road from County Road E; feels a four-way "Stop" would alleviate the problem. Sather moved, seconded by Hicks, that McNiesh be requested to relay Coun- cil's and residents' concerns to the County relative to the need for traffic control on New Brighton Road, particularly at County Road E, asking that the County investigate the traffic situation to see if accidents and traffic count meets its criteria for the installation of a four-way stop. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)
