<br /> I <br /> I. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> I DATE: <br /> February 2, 1996 <br /> I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator C# <br /> I FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent . <br /> SUBJECT: Crystal Avenue Traffic <br /> I Requests <br /> I Several residents have talked to staff and have attended the Public Works/Public Safety meeting <br /> on January 18,1996. They have requested a sign stating "No Left Turn to Crystal Avenue, <br /> Between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. on school days." The sign would be installed in the appropriate <br /> I location to see if this corrects the problem. <br /> Back!!round <br /> I Since the installation of stop signs on County Road F and Fairview Avenue, there has been a <br /> substantial increase in traffic on Crystal Avenue, between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. on school <br /> days. It has been determined by the residents of the Crystal area that this traffic is due to <br /> .. vehicles heading west on County Road F from Old Highway 10, turning onto Crystal and <br /> speeding up Crystal to Fairview, then taking Fairview back to County Road F. This being done <br /> to avoid west bound traffic backed up at the stop sign at Fairview. <br /> I Additional Background <br /> I Since the recommendation, staff has consulted with the Sheriffs deputy assigned to Arden Hills. <br /> She would not be in favor of the sign. However, if one is installed she would recommend the <br /> right angled arrow with a red circle and slash across arrow indicating no turn. A small separate <br /> I 7:00 - 8:00 a.m. school days sign would be placed under this sign. She stated the signs for No <br /> Turns on Valentine are too complicated. She also reminded staff that these signs apply to <br /> everyone, including residents and that no exceptions can be made. <br /> I Also, it has been determined that not all Crystal A venue residents are in favor of a No Turn Sign. <br /> I Recommendation <br /> The Public Works/Public Safety Committee having discussed this issue at their January 18, 1996 <br /> meeting recommends the approval by the City Council of a sign stating "No Left Turn onto <br /> I Crystal Avenue. Between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. on school days." <br /> I DS\j1 <br /> .e <br /> I <br />
