PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A petition has been presented recently, signed ay residents TRAFFIC CONTR'I
of the Foor Seasons Area and parent5,of children attending IMPROVEMENTS \,
the Pilgrim Elementary) School, ,requesting the it,tallation Pilgrim and 360 Avenue N.
of a 4-wiy stop sign,; or stop lights at 36th Avenue and Item 5-A(1)
Pilgrim Lane , This i s, a ' T intersection and has an
existing stop sign for southbound traffic on Pilgrim Lane.
Petitioners would like an additional stop sign installed \
to stop east and westbound traffic on either side of the
Pilgrim Lane avid 36th Avenue intersection. The Police De-
partment reviewed the situation on January 10 between 7:45
A. M. and 8:15 A. M. During that period of time, 111 cars
entered the intersection southbound on"Pilgrim; 83 cars
westbound on 36th, heading toward Armstrong High School; and
74 cars eastbound on 36th Avenue. Pedestrian traffic during
that time was 47 children. The City Engineer and Manager do
not recommend the installation of this additional stop sign
as it would tend to stop traffic 24 hours a day, every day
of the year, when the main problem is during the crossing of
school children before and after school. Options to this
problem would be the installation of an overhead mercury
vapor lamp, additional pedestrian crossing signs; a permanent
solution would be the installation of a semaphore at the
intersection to be activated by pedestrians and/or vehicular
traffic.

Mr. Tom Wanous, 4015 Trenton Lang, disagrees with the Manager and Engineer, and
felt the installation of stop signs would not inconvenience the motorist, but would
have the effect of slowing the traffic and possibly preventing injury, ta'schoal
children.
Mr, Tom Berg, 3820 Trenton Lane, also disagreed with the recommendation and statpd
that regardless of when peak period of pedestrian traffic occurs, traffic flow's
much too fast on 36th Avenue and felt it would be a good idea to stop that fast
movement; he did, however, favor the installation of the mercury overhead light
as the intersection was extremely dark,
Kevin Kasel, 3833 Gettysburg Avenue North, who is the Vice -President of the Student
Council of Plymouth Jr. High, has talked to students at Plymouth Jr, High, and
they are worried about the speed of the traffic, indicating that they sometimes
get caught in the middle of the street when they are attempting to cross, with
traffic going both directions; also felt that the Sr,, High students driving their
cars to the school don't like being stopped by pedestrians and sometimes are "hot
rodding" in the area. He favored the installation of" tine stop signs and also the
overhead lamp.
Mrs. Sandra Fleischer, 4015 Quaker Lane North (a teacher at one of the schools),
felt there were numerous advantages to the installation of this stop sign: control
speed on 36th Avenue both ways and make it safer for junior high i•udents to cross;
children who take swimming lessons during odd hours, having a sater'crossing; the
Tiburon area is increasing in number of children; three schools involved in this
intersection; and it is not important that no one has been injured or killed at
this intersection yet --they want to prevent it now, and felt it was the Council's
duty to make this a safe intersection.
Representative Bill Clifford, 9400 Northwood Parkway, indicated this was a pretty
serious problem and PTA's from Pilgrim Lane and Plymouth Jr. Hign had indicated
their concern. Strongly urged the installation of a stop si n on both sides of
36th Avenue North as soon as possible.
Councilman Neils has talked to Dr.

Indicated that if students can't get across
choose a more dangerous means of crossing.
MOTION was made by Councilman Spaeth, seconded by Council-
man Neils, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 7440, A RESOLUTION
APPROVING THE INSTALLATION OF STOP SIGNS ON 35TH AVENUE
NORTH FOR EAST AND WESTBOUND TRAFFIC AT THE INTERSECTION
OF PILGRIM LANE, AND FURTHER FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A
STREET LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF PILGRIM LANE AND 36TH
AVENUE NORTH. Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, four
ayes.
Staff indicated the stop signs should be installed within
a week, but the overhead light cannot be installed until
Northern States Power Company can accomplish,)
Councilman Neils was requested to follow-up with communica-
tions to the schools indicated that we hac attempted to
Provide a safe intersection and they should take measures
to encoi rage crossing only at that intersection end not have
the fanning out to the west. Councilman Neils will also.
contact the schools personally.

Mayor Hilde wrote a letter to the Counclol indicating his
concern over the inconvenience of the skasing public,
particularly during the Christmas holidays, due to the
poor condition of area ice skating rinks. He indicated
that it appears to have been a mix-up between the schools
and the City as to the responsible party for the maintenance
of the rinks, but also there was a problem with ice main-
tenance equipment and the kind of labor arrangement for the
maintenance Mork, He desired the Council to consider steps
to alleviate the problem for the remainder of this year, and
to solve the problem for next year,

tions, including that special" assessments be resolved,ty Staff
and Council. The matter of special assessments has not,been,''
resolved at this tima. but will be discussed with the entire ,
Workhouse property special assessments at the Council meeting
of January 28. ,
Councilman Neils indizated he did not feel Council should
proceed with approvalof this request until there is clari-
fication of special assessments, but Attorney Lefler felt
Council should reconsider that direction as they have been
working with City of ;Minneapolis. It would be a hardship
an the Minneapolis 06rk Board to have their building deferred
for this reason.
fir. Dave DeVoto, representing the Minneapolis Park and Recrea-
tion Board, indi cate;I they were a separate entity from the 'City
of Minneapolis and h4 could not speak for the City, but that
they were leasing the land from the City of Minneapolis, and
the City at any time could take this property back. This
1buildingwasindicatedtoberelativelysmall (40, x S2'),
wo0 d be used primattii ly for a garage facility and be more
or less a temporary investment. Councilman Neils indicated
that Council feels ouildings of this type take on a degree
of permanence and s6condly, whether industrial or commercial,
Cop nci 1 has denied permits for temporary buildings of this
nature, This should be a permanent structure. Likewise,
they should connect to the available ppbl i c uti 1 i Zi es . He'
dr?s not feel we should intake excepti on;t for the City of
M nreapolis.
Mr. DeVoto indieat4d construction of this building corld
take place as soon,as weather permitted. There was a
further discussion regarding publjc hook-up to sewer and
water and it was indicated on the Map .ttie`aiyadranrage of
this at the present time because of the distance to point
of hook-up.
MUTIbN was made by Councilman Neils, seconded by Councilman
Spaeth, that this item be 'deferred for claritlAcation of
special assessments and related items by the staff. Motion

Mr. Gan Nordby and Mr. Terry Kellogg, co•direc:tors of
