Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April 11, 2016 Page 34 to the cost and possibility of pursuing the design concept presented by Scandina- vian Design. Mayor Roe suggested it may be feasible to move the current northern access into Scandinavian Design further west to line it up with the proposed Lincoln Drive access to create a quasi-intersection further west of Snelling Avenue alleviating some of the stacking and give them an identified turn lane from the city's excess median. However, Mayor Roe noted that Scandinavian Design would then need to move their access and perhaps reconfigure their parking lot. While understand- ing the perspective of Scandinavian Design, Mayor Roe noted if their firm agreed with such a proposal, pending location of utilities and other approvals, it could be a solution, noting his preference to lceep the proposed median. Mayor Roe stated that overall he was generally supportive of this project, noting the current need to address the intersection at County Road C-2 and northbound Snelling Avenue, currently at a dangerous level and needing to be addressed.

Mr. Gj erdingen asked why there were so many wide truck-style turns on Terrace Ave- nue and Lincoln Drive, expressing his interest in buttoning up the intersection and making it more pedestrian friendly. Mr. Gjerdingen opined that the corners didn't need to be so rounded as it decreased safety. Toward County Road C-2 and Lincoln Drive, Mr. Gjerdingen provided several options as well as concerns for through-movements to continue northbound on Lincoln Drive past the County Road C-2 intersection without yielding; however he cautioned the need to address pedestrians in the crosswalk with the blind view created, especially with college student housing in the immediate vicinity and lack of sidewalks on Lincoln Drive. Mr. Gjerdingen noted that the overall concept for the Twin Lakes area is to be pedestrian friendly and integrate public and private s paces to enhance walkability. Mr. Gjerdingen asked that be a definite considera- tion going into this process. Mr. Gjerdingen noted that attempting to cross Snelling Avenue in this area now was challenging, but at least the median provided some safe refuge for pedestri- ans; with natural zigzag movements created with sidewalk access. If the project is contemplating extending the roadway into the right-of way at County Road C-2 west of Snelling Avenue, Mr. Gjerdingen suggested a sidewalk along County Road C-2 to facilitate pedestrian movements and other pedestrian accessibility throughout the area and as part of this process.
