Barton-Ascliman Associates, Inc. <br />1610 South Sixth Street Minneapolis, Minnesota 55454 612-332-0421 <br />Memorandum <br />Mr. Al Nelson <br />February 8, 1985 <br />Page 2 <br />The proposed access at the east edge of the Fashion Mall will require <br />a median opening and to be consistent, construction of an eastbound <br />left turn lane. The spacing between adjacent intersections appears <br />to be adequate and the intersection is located on a virtual tangent <br />segment of road. <br />The spacing of the Rosedale -Bank intersection is roughly 350 feet <br />from Fairview Avenue. This spacing does not preclude the eventual <br />installation of a traffic signal. <br />If and when a signal is required at B-2 near the west edge of the Center, <br />it should be at the bank entrance. This signal will create gaps for <br />the turns out of the Fashion Mall. The signal at this location <br />would be an aid to encourage drivers to use the B-2 entrance just east <br />of Fairview rather than the presently signalized entrance to the Center <br />directly off Fairview. <br />Rosedale Center is 1,000,000 + square feet. It is essential that <br />entrances be used to serve specific parking areas so that one portion <br />of the lots is not overloaded and others unused. A signal at the Rose- <br />dale entrance would be supportive of this policy although it is doubtful <br />
