Also in attendance were Clerk-Administrator McNiesh; Engineers Christoffersen, Van Wormer and Barry Peters; Planner Miller; Treasurer Lamb; and Public Works Supervisor Raddatz. Engineer Peters clarified some inaccuracies which had appeared in local publications concerning the estimated costs of the proposed Hamline Avenue improvement. He noted that the project could take two forms--as a 46 foot wide roadway or a 36 foot wide roadway h~th a sidewalk on the west side and a sidewalk on the east side. He advised the Council that the estimated cost of the 46 foot wide roadway improvement with surcharging and a sidewalk on the west side was $997,000.00 and $1,015,200.00 if the project in addition included a sidewalk on the east side. In comparison, the 36 foot wide roadway plus surcharging and a sidewalk on the west side would cost an estimated $886,800.00 and with an additional sidewalk on the east side $905,000.00. . . The Council then discussed with the Engineers the following topics: The Parks Committee's recommendation that a sidewalk be placed on the east side of Hamline Avenue from Karth Lake Circle to Wyncrest; turn lanes on the 36 foot wide roadway; feasibility of discouraging cut-through traffic on Hamline Avenue; the necessity for turn lanes; the necessity for one or two crosswalks; feasibility or possibility of installing a semaphore signal at the intersection of Hamline and 1-694, or a sign preventing left turns between certain hours, and other alternatives thereto; and alteration of bus routes so that the crossing of Hamline Avenue by students would not be necessary. A motion was made by Council member Hansen and seconded by Council member Hicks that the Council adopt the following Resolution No. 86-8 for a three-lane 46 foot wide road with detached sidewalk on the west side thereof. After considerable discussion, it was moved by Council member Sather and seconded by Council member Peck that the original motion be amended to include installation of a sidewalk on the east side of Hamline Avenue from Karth Lake Circle to Wyncrest Court. This motion to amend the original motion carried by a three-to-two vote, Council members Sather, Peck and Hicks voting in favor thereof and Council member Hansen and Mayor Woodburn opposing the same. Resolution 86-8, as moved by Council member Hansen and seconded by Council member Hicks and as amended by the motion made by Council member Sather and seconded by Council member Peck, read as follows: - 2 - .
