Dear John:
Hennepin County has improved the intersection of County
Road 3 and 17th Avenue South by installing a right turn
lane for westbound to northbound traffic. By doing this,
the cars coming around the corner in the right turn lane
end up being forced out into the traffic lane sooner than
feels comfortable because of the cars parked on the east
side of 17th Avenue South right by County Road 3. If vis
visibility becomes bad, a car coming around the corner
might end up running into one of the parked cars.
To solve this problem, I recommend removing parking on the
east side of 17th Avenue South from the curb line of
County Road 3 to a point 150 feet north. This would allow
enough room for the cars to move into the traffic flow lane.
