717 <br />• Green Step Overview Program and Tiers <br />718 <br />available recycling containers and grants available for small businesses and <br />719 <br />• Member Seigler requested a quick overview and update on the WalMart <br />720 <br />development, now that it was fully functioning, and what was happening in <br />721 <br />that area specific to traffic, lighting and movement through the area, even if <br />722 <br />the impact was found to be less than originally anticipated. <br />723 <br />allows. <br />724 <br />Mr. Schwartz advised that he wasn't sure if sufficient data was available yet <br />725 <br />as to the impact, but offered to research it. Mr. Schwartz advised that there <br />726 <br />were other activities in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area that were also <br />727 <br />stirring things up, and preliminary to future projects. Mr. Schwartz suggested <br />728 <br />that update be provided on an upcoming Feasibility Study on the next phase of <br />729 <br />Twin Lakes Parkway and remaining infrastructure improvements. <br />730 <br />731 <br />732 <br />733 <br />734 <br />735 <br />736 <br />737 <br />738 <br />739 <br />740 <br />741 <br />742 <br />743 <br />744 <br />745 <br />746 <br />747 <br />748 <br />749 <br />750 <br />751 <br />752 <br />753 <br />754 <br />755 <br />Member Gjerdingen expressed his interest in the pr d design for the <br />crosswalks as part of the new Twin Lakes Parkway an re on -street <br />parking fit into the picture, or how the environment may roved for <br />vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the T in La ea. <br />lift <br />Mr. Schwartz clarified that, based on his reco ection, there was no on -street <br />parking anticipated in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area, and as part of <br />preliminary plans completed a few of years ago. Mr. Schwartz advised that <br />the infrastructure already built today did not allow for on -street parking, and <br />he didn't anticipate the next phase did so either; with concurrence by Mr. <br />Culver. <br />RM <br />Member Gjerdingen opined that it was worth discussing, especially with the <br />Planning Commission, as it was a very important component of a vibrant, <br />walkable city to have buffers between traffic and pedestrians. <br />Mr. Schwa z adNbM <br />e storm water infrastructure constructed to -date <br />provided buffer as part of stormwater mitigation amenities. Mr. <br />Schwartz as noter Wozniak advised that in determining street <br />andri ht -of- owidths trade-offs had been made for parking, trees and <br />boul s. Mr. Schwartz further noted that there was a good portion of the <br />next ph f infrastructure already redeveloped, with stormwater ponds in <br />place, and the current proposal for apartment buildings near Fairview may <br />allow an opportunity to review and share that data. <br />756 <br />• Member Wozniak suggested a future presentation by Ramsey County about <br />757 <br />available recycling containers and grants available for small businesses and <br />758 <br />institutions interested in applying. <br />759 <br />760 <br />Given the number of items already addressed, Mr. Schwartz suggested <br />761 <br />flexibility in accommodating that on the July or August agendas as time <br />762 <br />allows. <br />Page 17 of 18 <br />
