Crosswalk Request near Garrett& Glazier Avenue Mr. Anderson said the request was raised by Minnesota Women's Health Care. Ms. Washington and Ms. Ruprecht represented the business, which is located on the south side of Garrett Avenue. Due to limited parking on site, the business has contracted with Bogart's on the north side of Garrett for additional parking. This requires workers and clients to cross the street to reach their cars. Many drivers going north and making the right-turn onto Garrett are not yielding for pedestrians. Long lines of cars waiting to pick-up students from Fit Academy are creating sight line problems. Glazier Avenue does not have any stop signs. The south leg of Garrett Avenue has a stop sign at the T-intersection with Glazier Avenue and the north leg of Garrett. The sidewalk on the north side of Glazier stops at the intersection and does not continue along the north leg of Garrett. Mr. Anderson said the Engineering Division would need to conduct a traffic study to determine if volumes meet warrants for a three-way stop at the intersection. The Committee agreed to continue with the engineering traffic study. 6A.Other Traffic Concerns Communicated to the City of Apple Valley Police Concerns There were no new concerns communicated to Police. Public Works Concerns Mr. Anderson said there has been a request for a four-way stop at the rear parking lot to Valley Middle School at Baldwin Drive. There is a traffic volume issue driven by changes the school made to the parent pick-up location and issues with parents not making full use of stacking in the parking lot. 6B.Educational Issues There were no new educational issues. 7. Adjourn MOTION: Mr. Grawe moved, second by Mr. Saam, to adjourn. Motion passed 6-0. Meeting was adjourned at 7:27 p.m.
