IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NOS. 1999 -01, 02, AND 03, CONTRACT 1999 -A, SE
NEIGHBORHOOD STREET, STORM DRAINAGE, AND UTILITY
IMPROVEMENTS
Mayor Kragness asked if anyone wanted to addressed the Council regarding the project.
Several residents addressed the Council in regards to the marking of trees in the project area. The
concern of many residents was why the trees had to be removed. They questioned if the work for
the project could be done around the existing trees so the trees do not have to be removed.
i
Laurie Erkkila, 5613 Irving Avenue North, addressed the Council regarding legal liabilities. She
stated that she would be willing to sign a waiver that would not hold the City responsible and get
the needed insurance.
City Attorney Charlie LeFevere discussed the legal aspects of trees in the boulevard as potential
sources of liability since the property owner could not release potential claims from others if a tree
fell due to a weakened state from construction activities.
Rich Hauer, 5706 Irving Avenue North, addressed the Council regarding Gary Johnson, Associate
Professor of Urban and Community Forestry. He requested the Council to seek input from Mr.
Johnson before removing any trees.
City Manager Michael McCauley discussed the resolution before the Council is accepting bid and
awarding contract for the continuation of work in the southeast neighborhood project. He reviewed
the reasons for the marking of the trees in the project area and why it is important for the marked
trees to be removed.
Councilmember Hilstrom asked if the marked trees would be removed right away if the resolution
was approved this evening. Public Works Director Diane Spector responded that the contractor
clears and grubs the trees, clears the pavement, and then removes the boulevard sod. The removal
of trees would start within a week or two.
It was the consensus of the Council to have staff meet with individual residents that have trees
marked to reevaluate the issue of removing their trees.

OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION TO INSTALL A TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAL
SYSTEM ON CSAH (BROOKLYN BOULEVARD) AT THE TH 100 SOUTH
RAMP TERMINAL
Mr. McCauley discussed at a previous informal open forum the Council was addressed regarding
traffic control improvements from residents for the closure of the ramps at 50th Avenue. This
resolution requests the Hennepin County Department of Transportation and the Minnesota
Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) to install a traffic control signal system on CSAH
(Brooklyn Boulevard) at the TH 100 south ramp terminal.
Jim Grube, Hennepin County Highway Systems, was present to accept the resolution on behalf of
the Hennepin County Department of Transportation. He explained the County's position with the
issue and that the County would have to wait for a response from Mn/DOT.
Jan Hungerford, 4931 Irving Avenue North, addressed the Council regarding the closure of 50th
Avenue and asked why the City is holding up the process. Mr. McCauley discussed that all traffic
will move to the intersection of TH 100 and that is why the traffic signal is needed before the closure
of 50th Avenue.
Mr. McCauley stated that the next step would be to get a formal response from Mn/DOT and
encouraged the residents to keep in touch with Mn/DOT.

hold the note on the Section 236 financing. The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency is being asked
to assume the responsibility as well as monitoring the project.

speeds or reduced accidents.
Councilmember Hilstrom asked what the residents requesting these signs can do to help reduce the
volume and speed of traffic in the area. Mr. McCauley responded that a study can be done with
radar, and the Police Department could provide more enforcement in the area. Another suggestion
was residents could petition for sidewalk improvements.
