I ~. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: September 27, 1996 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator ~- FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent I SUBJECT: New Strect Signs I Back~Tound Jerrold Avenue I At the regularly scheduled Arden Hills Public Works/Public Safety meeting on September 19, 1996, a resident of the Jerrold Avenue cul-de-sac asked that a "Dead End" sign be installed on Jerrold Avenue just west of the Prior Avenue intersection. Jerrold Avenue begins at New I Brighton Road and runs west 1/4 mile beyond Prior Avenue. Approximately halfway between Prior and the end of Jerrold the road makes a dog-leg to the left. Entering Jerrold from the Prior Avenue intersection it is not possible to see the end of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Wally Olsen who I resides at 1991 Jerrold Avenue and attended the September 19, 1996 Public WorkslPublic Safety Committee meeting stated that drivers become irritated when they realize they have taken a dead end road and tend to speed out of the cul-de-sac. This he feels endangers his and other children .. who play in the area. The Public Works Superintendent, Dwayne Stafford had previously met with the property owner where the sign would be placed. She indicated she was not in favor of a sign on her boulevard, but would accept any decision that was made. I County Road F I Since the completion of the County Road F reconstruction, Mounds View students have discovered the widened shoulders west of the high school have created new parking areas. What started out this school year as 1 or 2 vehicles parking in this area has now become 10 or 15, and I at times the students are parking in the road way. The North shoulder has a No Parking sign which students obey, however the south shoulder is not posted for No Parking. I Recommendation The Public WorkslPublic Safety Committee recommends Council approve the installation ofa "Dead End" sign on Jerrold Avenue just west of Prior Avenue. I The Committee also recommends placing "No Parking Any Time" signs on County Road F on the rural design section between Mounds View High School and Interstate 35W. I Note I At the request of Mr. Fritsinger the Public Works Superintendent has since discussed the County Road F parking issue with Ramsey County Sheriff Deputy, Ginger Geving. Deputy Geving stated she has no objection to students parking in this location if they do so properly. She stated It she would rather see the students parked there than in the residential areas. She further stated she will tag those who park unlawfully in the paved portion of the road way. I
