<br />Member Fischer asked if pedestrian traffic is studied the way vehicle <br />traffic is studied. Wilke said yes. Fischer said having that infonnation <br />would help in narrowing down the spots for signage. <br /> <br />Member Fischer asked what the price is on a centerline sign. Schwartz <br />said they run about $300 with the base plus installation. The County <br />would want to install the signs on county roads and would probably do it <br />for free unless there was a huge amount of them. <br /> <br />Member Shiely said that he drove all the suggested sites this morning at <br />4:00 a.m. and there was inconsistency in the signage. Schwartz said that <br />signs were placed according to the needs for that location. Shiely said he <br />thinks all intersections should be signed alike. He thinks there should be <br />double-sided signs before each intersection. <br /> <br />Member Fischer asked which sign was more effective, the picture of <br />people walking or the text sign saying "Stop for Pedestrians". Sergeant <br />Christensen said he thinks there are a lot of people out there who still <br />aren't aware that the pedestrian has the right-of-way. <br /> <br />Schwartz said he can come up with costs for some of these ideas and <br />asked for clarification on what the Commission wants to discuss at the <br />next discussion. He listed what he had gotten from them so far: look into <br />what the costs would be for different types of signage, for double face <br />signs, for "Stop for Pedestrian" signs; look into the actual cost from <br />Ramsey County for centerline crosswalk signs-would there be a charge <br />to the City; get the costs on painting crosswalks-can this be done once or <br />twice a year; research education efforts (annual campaign). <br /> <br />Member Shiely said that there's a site aligmnent problem for site #20. <br /> <br />Member Wilke said we should look into the reason for the inconsistency <br />in signage. Schwartz said the budget is a consideration. <br /> <br />6. Tentative May Agenda <br /> <br />South Owasso Street Reconstruction <br />Twin Lakes Traffic Plan <br /> <br />Schwartz said the Member Shiely had requested a tour of City facilities <br />and asked the Commission when would be a good time. Member Wilke <br />liked Saturday morning. Member Shiely said he didn't think it was fair <br />for Duane to have to come in on a Saturday and suggested that the tour be <br />done late afternoon on a work day. Duane said he would get back to them <br />with suggested times. <br /> <br />7. Adjournment <br /> <br />Page 3 of3 <br />
