� <br />LJ <br />October 1, 1969 <br />CAS E NO: <br />APPLICANT: <br />LC�CAT 10 N: <br />,� <br />527-69 <br />Ramsey County <br />Lexington Avenue from Larpent�ur ta Trunk Highway 36 <br />ACTION REQlJESTED: Approval of Hiqh�wny improvements Design <br />PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: <br />1. As requested by the Planning Commission, we have m,et with representat�ves <br />of the Ramsey County Highway Department to review suggestions to I imit <br />the extent of th� proposed median strip development on Lexingtc�n Auenue. <br />The initial propow( presented by Ramsey County suggests the developm�nt of <br />a median strip continuously,exc�:pt for public street crassings,from Larpenteur <br />to Highway 36. It would appear, from our discussions with lV1r. Floyd Snjiker, <br />the Assistant Highway Engineer, that the county woul'd be amenable to ad�ustments <br />to I imit the extent of the median devel�pment. We have prepared overlays <br />which indicate hoHv this might be accomplished�creatin5 the best conditions <br />to handle the traffic,and yet have minimal impact upon the residential develop- <br />ment north of the commercia' area on Lexington ,Avenue. l��Ir. Snyk�r will <br />be afi the Planning Commission meeting�at which time we wil) discuss alternative <br />methods of reducing the median strip construction (and the cost). Based on <br />fihe traffic volumes involved in the turneng movements anci thraugh traffic, we <br />feel that the deveiopment af left-turn lanes with a 6 foot median in the commercial <br />area north of Larpenteur will be advantageo�� with the eliminafiion of ather <br />median strip development except at key intersections to the north. <br />
