Member Felice wondered how they would accommodate pedestrian traffic <br />with the proposed roundabouts. Ms. Bloom said that is always a concern. <br />Chair DeBenedet said this issue was discussed at the Rice Street TAC <br />meetings, and also that the Shoreview representative proclaimed there <br />would be no roundabouts on Rice in Shoreview. Member Willenbring <br />said that when there are more roundabouts in use they will become more <br />widely accepted. <br />Steve Jergen, 2553 Fisk Street, spoke toward the different designs <br />presented and said he liked the tight diamond design the best. He also said <br />he preferred to have bike lanes with the regular traffic as opposed to <br />having a separate bridge. <br />4. Communication Items <br />Active Living Ramsey County Complete Street's Policy <br />The December 30 draft of the County's policy was discussed, which states <br />their objective is to create projects that allow everyone, including children, <br />elderly and disabled, to be able to travel safely within the public right-of- <br />way. Member Stenlund said there is definitely a need for wildlife passage <br />as well. <br />GLWMO Lake Owasso Study <br />Ms. Bloom gave an overview of the study and told the Commission it <br />could be discussed in greater detail at a future meeting if they desired. <br />Member Willenbring asked if they addressed any dredging in the south <br />area of Lake Owasso. Ms. Bloom responded that in its natural state <br />dredging isn't necessarily best for the lake. The report states that there are <br />currently dead spots in the lake because of previous treatments. Chair <br />DeBenedet said he thought the appropriate place for this discussion is at <br />the GLWMO meetings. <br />Member Vanderwall wondered what Roseville's Public Works <br />Department could be doing to promote the best ecosystem in the lake. <br />The GLWMO report is available at City Hall for anyone wishing to review <br />it. <br />Rain Garden Workshop <br />A workshop will be held Apri129 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at city hall. <br />Twin Lakes Redevelopment Update <br />City staff is working on developing a storm water program for this site, <br />and Ms. Bloom updated the Commission on the different options being <br />considered. <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
