Planning File 527-69 - Ramsey County Proposed Plans for Improvement of Lexington Avenue from Larpenteur Avenue to T.H. 36. Presentation Mr. Howard Dahlgren explained that Ramsey County would like to improve Lexington Avenue from Larpenteur Avenue to T.H. 36. The plans submitted by the County indicate that a four lane highway with a median strip would be proposed. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that he did not feel a median strip was necessary for the entire length of Lexington Avenue from Larpenteur to T.H. 36. Perhaps a better design would be a median strip with left turn holding lanes in the commercial area on Lexington Avenue. Thereby the cost could be held down and the median strip would not be necessary in the residential area.

Recommendation The Planning Commission instructed Mr. Dahlgren to meet with the Ramsey County Engineering Department to present some of the ideas - the median strip and the left turn holding laneso Once he has completed these talks with the County he will appear before the Planning Comm- ission on the improvement of Lexington Avenue.
