<br />MEMO <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Kim Stephan <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />July 2, 2009 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Pedestrian & Bicycle Ramps/Curb Cut Outs on CSAH 14 at Lakeland Circle and <br />Peltier Lake Drive <br /> <br />Mr. Tedd Peterson, Public Works asked me to bring this issue to the Packs & Recreation Committee <br />meeting July 1,2009. He has noticed a safety issue with bikes and pedestrians crossing CSAHI4 at <br />Lakeland Circle. Vice-Chairperson Kevin Amundsen said the same issue is at Peltier Lake Drive & <br />CSAHI4, actually worse because it is a hill and a corner. There is not a sidewalk on the north side <br />of the road; trail is on the south side. There are no rampslburnp outs in the curb/trail to safely ride <br />onto the trail - you have to get off your bike, lift your bike (and all of your kid's bikes if applicable) <br />onto the trail. People coming from Lakeland Circle and Peltier Lake Drive who want to get to the <br />trail are crossing in the middle of traffic to get to the trail. This affects probably 1/4 of Centerville's <br />population - anyone on that side of town trying to access the trail. <br /> <br />The committee discussed if a ramplburnp out was put in the curb to the trail at Lakeland Circle and <br />also at Peltier Lake Drive would it then also have to be marked as a crosswalk? And would the <br />county do this? Probably not knowing how hard it is to get a crosswalk. Can we being this to the <br />county's attention to see if anything can be done to make this trail access safer? <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Haiden, seconded by Vice-Chairperson Amundsen <br />to recommend City Council bring this issue to Anoka County Highway Department's <br />attention and investigate what can be done to make the trail access at Lakeland Circle and <br />Peltier Lake Drive safer. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />:s~ <br />
