Pequot Lakes -Hwy 371 North <br /> October 7, 2005 <br /> Page 9of15 <br /> from West Lake Street north to Jokela Street: <br /> West Lake Street: <br /> Northbound and southbound TH 371 traffic can turn off the highway onto West <br /> Lake Street. Eastbound West Lake Street traffic can only turn south onto the <br /> highway(they cannot turn left and head north on TH 371). <br /> West Woodman Street: <br /> The City is very concerned about safety and traffic patterns into and out of the <br /> school. <br /> The City wants at least a right-in from the highway onto West Woodman Street, <br /> thus creating a"U" loop for traffic coming from north or east of the school into <br /> the school on Woodman and out to the highway on Lake. <br /> MnDOT wants the City to look at their local streets to see if they can create this <br /> "U" loop. <br /> MnDOT is not showing any access at this location, and has said that if there is an <br /> access here, they would not financially support a service road between West Lake <br /> Street and West Woodman Street. <br /> The City believes a right in-right out(and at least a right-in) would benefit safety <br /> and congestion for the highway, the school, and the City streets in this area. <br /> East Woodman Street: <br /> There is a right-in for northbound TH 371 traffic onto East Woodman Street. <br /> The City believes having this also be a right-out would provide options for <br /> northbound TH 371 traffic and would benefit the safety and congestion on the <br /> highway, on CSAH 11/Main Street, and at the signalized intersection of the two. <br /> CSAH 11/Main Street: <br /> Full access in all directions and signalized. <br /> East Sibley Street: <br /> An access here was closed as part of the agreement with the DNR on a proposed <br /> backage road going from Government Drive, across the Paul Bunyan Trail, and <br /> connecting with Jokela Street at Front Street. <br /> One Council Member said he believed there should be a right-in for northbound <br /> TH 371 traffic onto East Sibley Street, and a right-out for traffic exiting East <br /> Sibley Street. <br /> CAMy Documents\City Clerk\HIGHWAY 37 1\Meetings\102505 List of Issues for City MnDOT mtg-memo.doc <br />
