NEW BUSINESS:
Mr. Helgeson received a request for a red flashing light on
the stop sign at Hwy. 65 and Hwy. 12 east of Roberts. Currently
there are rumble strips at the intersection. The state is
reluctant to put in a flashing light. Discussion was held. Motion
made and seconded for DOT to send a letter to leave as is. Motion
carried.
Discussion was held on request of Mr. Kern of WI DOT to use
210th Ave. and Co. Rd. C intersection between New Richmond and Star
Prairie for detour for Hwy. 65 construction in 1999. Mr. Fedderly
recommended NOT using 210th Ave. as a detour, but use Wall St.
instead. Motion was made and seconded for DOT to use Wall St. for
detour with temporary signs. Motion carried.
Mr. Helgeson stated DOT is proposing a 65 MPH speed limit on
STH 35 expressway between I94 and River Falls. Discussion was
held. Motion was made and seconded for 65MPH limit now and in the
future look at freeway concept for STH 35. Motion carried.
Mr. Fedderly stated DOT is proposing redoing I94 and some
bridges in 2001. On I94 between Hwy. 12 and Hwy. 65 traffic will
be counter directional. DOT is looking at closing the weigh
station. Motion made and seconded to support DOT's proposal to
close the weigh station during construction in 2001 during the time
of counter directional traffic. Motion carried.
Mr. Helgeson made committee aware of monies available for
small roadway safety projects under $25,000.00.
Request was made for reduced speed limit on 180th Ave between
