Roseville Public Works, Environment <br />and Transportation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />Tuesday, November 28,2006, at 6:30 p.m. <br />City Council Chambers, 2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, Minnesota 55113 <br />5. James Addition Discussion <br />Chris Roy, Arnr Jabr, and Marc Goess from Mn/DOT shared with the <br />Commission how the decision was made to close Oakcrest at Snelling and <br />if there's any possibility of things changing to keep it open. <br />Member Willenbring suggested keeping the intersection three-way and <br />channelizing traffic flow to prevent people from trying to make a left turn <br />out of Oakcrest onto Snelling. Chris Roy said this has been done in other <br />areas, but people still try to go around. <br />Chris Roy said traffic volumes are predicted to increase about 2% per year <br />and no one has yet addressed two of Mn/DOT's three main concerns, <br />which is the closeness of the Oakcrest intersection the intersections at <br />County Road C and County Road B2. <br />Member DeBenedet asked how many accidents have occurred since the <br />intersection was changed to three-way only. Amr Jabr said there were <br />three in six months. Member DeBenedet asked for a breakdown of the <br />accidents. M�/D�T said they didn't have it with them, but they could get <br />it to staff at a later date. Member DeBenedet said he wanted to know how <br />many of the accidents were due to someone making a left turn out of <br />Oakcrest. <br />Member Willenbring wanted to restate that Oakcrest would be left open <br />for right in, right out, traffic. Mn/Db'T` said yes, they only wanted to close <br />the median. <br />Member DeBenedet asked what data Mn/D�T had on traffic speeds <br />increasing. Chris Roy said he didn't have anything with him, but in <br />general, speeds have increase over the entire metro area. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
