He noted the results <br />showed normal speeds within the area sampled. He explained a hand held radar <br />could also be used for this area to determine the severity of the high-speed traffic <br />in the area. Corporal Jensen indicated that a crime watch project has proven <br />successful in the City of White Bear Lake for clocking speeding vehicles and <br />sending letters to those speeding as a warning. <br /> <br />Liz Larson, 1882-73rd Street, stated she would rather see the City place a stop sign <br />in this area than to take on the expense of a hand held radar and staff time for <br />warning letters. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber asked how residents would place themselves for clocking of <br />vehicles and expressed concern for the safety of the residents taking on this task. <br />Corporal Jensen stated in the City of White Bear Lake, residents sit in lawn chairs <br />on local sidewalks. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if a neighborhood watch committee <br />could issue citations. Corporal Jensen stated residents are not allowed to issue <br />citations but a resident could file a complaint with the police station and a <br />summons could be issued for extreme cases. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis stated there is a large number of children in the area and <br />asked if the speed could be reduced ifa stop sign was not approved. Corporal <br />Jensen stated the neighbors could be polled to see if a speed change would be <br />warranted and observed by residents. <br /> <br />Ms. Larson asked for the speed limit in a school zone. Corporal Jensen stated this <br />was 25 miles per hour and the City has control over the jurisdiction of the <br />roadway and could lower the speed. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if the police department objected to the <br />additional stop sign. Council Member Sweeney stated in his neighborhood many <br />residents do not observe close stop signs. He explained that it slows them down <br />on Brian Way but gives a fulse sense of security for the residents on the street. <br />Corporal Jensen agreed with these statements but added that he would not object <br />to an additional stop sign. He stated that 90% of those not observing the stop sign <br />on Brian Way are local residents. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson explained she was interested in the hand held radar <br />watch to be done through the neighborhood watch. <br />Page 2 of 12 <br />
