Approve Resolution Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for I-35W at Cleveland Avenue Interchange Project Councilmember McGehee asked if any further discussion had been held about the Cleveland Avenue crosswalk in this segment. City Manager Trudgeon advised that the City had formally requested that Ramsey County provide their rationale for denial of a crosswalk as had been requested by the neighborhood. Public Works Director Marc Culver reported on a conversation late this afternoon with Ramsey County staff, advising that they were going to perform a pedestrian count crosswalk study at that intersection. However, Mr. Culver noted that, whether marked or unmarked, the State of Minnesota was lacking in good educa- tion and/or enforcement of intersections; with concerns in the industry that pedes- trians have an over-reliance of marked crosswalks anticipating vehicles will yield the right-of-way and when marked providing a false sense of security for pedes- trians.
