Title:

Review Resident's Concerns With The Sunfish Lk Blvd/CR116 Project

Background:

On June 13th city staff and the Ramsey City Council were cc 'd on an email from Ramsey resident Jessie Diaz and Charles Cadenhead of Anoka County Highway.  The email was concerning the impact of the Sunfish Lake Blvd/CR116 project was having on her neighborhood, the Sunfish Pond Town homes. Staff has brought this case forward for review by the committee to see if any of the concerns merit city involvement.  Jessie Diaz has been informed of this case and invited to attend.  The list of concerns are as follows:
1. Use of the the town home developments private road by non residents
2. Limited access to Caseys General Store because of the center medians on Sunfish Lk Blvd and CR 116
3. Increased traffic in surrounding neighborhoods because of the center medians on Sunfish Lk Blvd and CR116
4. Gaps in the sound walls constructed as part of the county project.

Some traffic concerns likely will have been resolved with the partial opening (i.e., one lane in each direction) of Bunker Lake Road last week.

Notification:

A Letter was sent to Ms. Diaz informing her that the Ramsey Public Works  Committee would be review her concerns.  Meeting location and time were included.

Observations:

Charles Cadenhead of Anoka County Highway has responded to Ms Diaz's email explaining the county's position on her concerns.  The one suggestion he had for controlling non-resident traffic in her neighborhood was to post "Private Road" signs at the entrances to the development.  These signs are already in place.
