Cohen Mayor of St. Paul Room 3�7 City Hall Dear Mayor Cohen: Attached is an Ordinance covering a One-Way designation of Ames Avenue between Flandrau St, and Van Dyke St. It is necessary because of the installation of the pedestrian signal located at the intersection of Ames Ave, and White Bear Ave. Also attached is a copy of a letter that was circulated to all the residents who would be directly affected by the One-Way designation. The only input we received from the residents was one individual who was in favor of the proposal , indicating that he felt it would reduce the vehicular traffic volume. Please call if you have any questions. Ver truly yours, �Z� G�-c�'�, � Daniel J. nford Director of Public Works /�. �' - A PPROVED c � - rank D.

At the present time we expect that this will be in the fall of 19I4. The aiternatives beiny investigated are: l . A full signai which would provide for both pedestrian and vehicular activity similar to the instailation at Case Ave. and White Bear Ave. 2 . A pedestrian signat located at the intersection of Ames Ave. and 4lhite Bear A�e . which would not accommodate cross street vet�icular traffic. 3. A pedestrian signal located about 100 ft. south of Flmes Ave. At the present time the Public Works Department favors the second of the above listed alternatives because it better facilitates the present pedestrian traffic flows than the third alternative and is considerably iess expensive (approximately $10,000 less) than the first alternative. The second alternative would, however, require that Am�s Ave, between 4�'hite Bear Ave, and Flandrau St. be desiynated one-way westbound and that it be de- siynated one-way eastbound betwean White Bear Ave. and Van Dyke St. 4Je are aware of the fact that this may result in some inconvenienc� to the residents tiving along /ames Ave. between Flandrau St. and Van Dyke St. , since they will not be able to enter or cross White Bear Ave. at Ames Ave. At the present time the southbound left turn from White Bear Ave. to /�mes Ave. is prohibited. Th� primary reason for this is that the present ,• . . . � ' ;�f��`��"79 -2- bridge provides oniy one lane of traffic in each direction and southbound lett turning movements do restrict the straight throuyh southbound traffic si�ce these vehicles are unable to pull around vehi�les stopped waiting to mal:� a left turn. The new br-idge will provide for two Ianes in each direction and it �ai11 , therefore, r�ot be necessary to restrict the southbound ieft turn foliowing its ccmpl�tion. We should point out that we feei there is some advantage to the resi- dents by estabtishiny Ames Av�. one-way. We would ariticipate that a one- way designation would result in less traffic on the street. We would appreciate it if you would contact us by March 1 , 1974 if you are opposed ta a one-way designation as outlined above. tf you have any questions or comments regarding �his please cont�ct either Robert Roettger or mysetf at 2y8-4701 .
