Resident Traffic Concerns Near Diamond Path School Mr. Anderson received a request to prohibit left-hand turns, except for school buses, on west-bound 1441' Street near the intersection with Diamond Path between the hours of 3:30 pm and 4:00 pm during school days. The current stacking for parked vehicles on site is under 500 feet and the engineer estimates at least 800 feet is necessary to keep the vehicles on site and off the street. Mr. Anderson expressed concern that prohibiting left-turns during such a period could create driver confusion. The group consensus was that working with the school district to provide more parking on site would be a preferable solution. Staff will also talk with Dakota County as Diamond Path is a County roadway. 6A.Other Traffic Concerns Communicated to the City of Apple Valley Police Concerns There were no other Police concerns. Public Works Concerns Mr. Anderson reported a request for a bike lane on Diamond Path between McAndrews Road and Pilot Knob Road. This would require removal of a parking lane.
