<br />Excerpt from: <br /> <br />Roseville Public Works, Environment <br />and Transportation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Tuesday, June 28, 2005, at 7:00 p.m. <br />City Council Chambers, 2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, Minnesota 55113 <br /> <br />8. Pedestrian Crosswalk Marking <br /> <br />Schwartz went over some of the comments the Commission made at <br />previous meetings regarding this topic and presented new information. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring talked about educating young children about <br />crosswalk safety. <br /> <br />Schwartz asked the Commission for direction on where to go with this <br />topic. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring asked if they could have police enforcement. <br />Schwartz said Sergeant Eric Christensen had attended the April meeting <br />and presented their viewpoint. <br /> <br />Member Shiely said there are nine mid-block intersections that need <br />attention. He thinks they should be signed on either side of the right-of- <br />way. He thinks there is an alignment problem with over half the signs he <br />looked at, such as tree limbs, etc. He suggested that crosswalk signs be <br />double-sided. He wants to ask Ramsey County if they would do the same <br />signage on County roads. Schwartz said we have worked with the County <br />before, and they are willing to install signs if we supply them. Member <br />Shiely went on to say the Commission should advise the Police <br />Department of sign changes and have them watch to see what effect the <br />changes had and to report back to the Commission in 30 days. He thinks <br />the City should use the same type of crosswalk painting throughout the <br />whole City, and it should be redone twice a year. He wants the crosswalk <br />at Central Park to have a switch so the light can be turned on and off. He <br />wants every crosswalk to have a "Crosswalk Ahead" sign in front of it. <br /> <br />Page I of 8 <br />
