WORKSESSION MINUTES
February 13, 1996
7 p.m.
A Council worksession was held on Tuesday, February 13, 1996 in the Raspberry Room at
Hopkins City Hall. The meeting began at 7 p.m. Present were Mayor Redepenning and
Council members Gene Maxwell, Fran Hesch, Karen Jensen and Diane Johnson. Also pre-
sent were City staff members Steve Mielke, Jim Kerrigan, Paul Steinman, and Captain Jim
Liddy; and Jim Benshoof of Benshoof & Associates.
The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. by Mayor Redepenning. The first item of business
was a presentation of the preliminary findings for the central business district parking and
traffic study. Jim Benshoof of Benshoof & Associates made the presentation. He stated the
purpose of the study was to look into the parking and traffic issues surrounding the develop-
ment of the Suburban Chevrolet site developments including the cinema/restaurant project
and the arts facility. Benshoof indicated that the intersections have sufficient capacity to
handle the traffic as anticipated in the analysis. He also indicated that 11th Avenue from
First Street South to Mainstreet should be re- striped to coincide with the County Road 3 im-
provements along 11th Avenue and would include two north bound lanes and one south
bound lane. At 11th Avenue and Mainstreet he indicated that 11th Avenue northbound
should have a right turn lane for the right lane traffic and left lane traffic would have a left
turn and straight through traffic. He also indicated that he would recommend signing the in-
tersection "No turn on red" so as to provide for greater pedestrian safety. Benshoof also in-
• dicated that the parking lots and the capacity to handle both uses already existed and that
there may be need to manage the parking lots with different times and different enforcement
methods, but that capacity existed within the existing area.
The second item of business was a discussion of 11th Avenue improvements from First
Street South to Mainstreet. City Manager Steve Mielke indicated that the current Capital Im-
provements Plan suggested a widening of 11th Avenue from Mainstreet to First Street South
to accommodate four lanes of traffic, two in each direction. Based upon the Benshoof analy-
sis staff was recommending that the Council not proceed with a project which would widen
11th Avenue to add an additional traffic lane.
The last item of business was a discussion of parking ramp security options. Jim Kerrigan
and Jim Liddy presented information regarding the cost and need for various types of in-
creased security in the parking ramp. Prices ranged from $5,000 to $50,000 for equipment
installation, depending on the type of security option selected. Jim Liddy reviewed the past
two years experience in the ramp and indicated that the Police Department could not recom-
mend increased security measures at this time.
There being no addition items on the agenda, the Council adjourned the meeting at 8:55
p.m.
