Member Vanderwall thought two good locations would be southbound <br />Snelling at County Road D and at Rice Street and Highway 36. <br /> <br /> Chair DeBenedet thought both ends of County Road C would be good <br />locations and both ends of Lexington Avenue, although at the south end <br />there just isn’t any room for it. <br /> <br /> Member Willenbring thought they could eliminate the Victoria and <br />Larpenteur location due to the small amount of traffic. <br /> <br /> The locations the Commission decided to look at closer were the north and <br />south ends of Snelling, the north end of Lexington, the east and west ends <br />of County Road C, and the east end of Highway 36. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schwartz said staff could check with both Ramsey County and <br />Mn/DOT to see what it would take to get permits for the signs. <br /> <br /> Chair DeBenedet questioned why the City Attorney suggested the City <br />establish criteria as to what constitutes a customer service group when he <br />thought that information should come from the City Attorney. Mr. <br />Schwartz said he thought what was meant was that the City needs to set <br />criteria for what types of groups they want advertising on the signs. <br /> <br /> Member Willenbring said he liked the Central Park sign and would prefer <br />the welcome signs to look similar, and then all the signs would be more <br />uniform. <br /> <br /> Chair DeBenedet said that the Commission could make some firm <br />decisions at the next meeting after reviewing the new information staff is <br />going to research and provide. <br /> <br /> <br />5.AUAR Update Draft Review and Comment <br /> <br /> Mr. Schwartz went through a presentation of the Twin Lakes Area. <br /> <br /> Member Neprash pointed out that the City Council was planning to take <br />action on this report before the PWETC’s next meeting. <br /> <br /> Chair DeBenedet said the PWETC could still make comments after that. <br />He wasn’t ready to discuss the report because he hasn’t had time to go <br />through the entire thing. <br /> <br /> Member Vanderwall said that on Page 96 under strategies to reduce the <br />amount of traffic, he would like to see something about a park-n-ride or <br />light rail system. Ms. Bloom said the Northeast Diagonal is no longer on <br />the Met Council’s 2030 program. Member Vanderwall said whether it’s a <br />rail line or not, he would like to see more definitive alternatives for <br />reducing traffic. <br />Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br />
