INTERSECTION SIGNAGE RESOLUTION
LYDIA AVENUE AND McKNIGHT ROAD
MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA
WHEREAS, the intersection of Lydia Avenue and McKnight Road is within
the corporate limits of the City of Maplewood;
WHEREAS, the two roads are both under the jurisdiction of the Ramsey
County Board; and,
WHEREAS, the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the
City and the County is being adversely affected by the following factors:
A. Property damage and personal injuries have resulted from 12
vehicular accidents since January, 1990 (12 accidents; four with
reported personal injuries);
B. Both County roads are four-lane at this particular intersection,
with McKnight traffic uncontrolled;
C. Improvements one mile to the east of this intersection, in Joy
Park, have made Lydia Avenue the second complete east-west route
from White Bear Avenue to Century Avenue, causing traffic to
increase to and from the Maplewood Mall regional shopping area;
18 8-15-91
D. The east bound Lydia traffic needs to creep into southbound
- McKnight traffic before complete vision is achieved due to the
placement of telephone poles and the landscaped retaining wall
at the NW corner of the aforesaid intersection;
E. Maplewood Police have noted an increase in the average speed of
the Lydia and McKnight traffic flow, due in part to the four
lanes of traffic and the slope of both McKnight Road and Lydia
Avenue;
F. Park Development in the SE corner of the intersection has
contributed to increase in the pedestrian traffic and the
vehicular use of the intersection streets leading to and from
- the parks equipment, courts and pathways; and,
G. Development of senior housing and single family housing in the
square mile surrounding this intersection has led to an increase
in the pedestrian traffic using the streets and boulevards,
particularly in the vulnerable age categories (seniors and
youth).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Maplewood City Council Petition
the Ramsey County Board to immediately install a four-way stop sign to
control the aforementioned intersection for all of the above stated reasons.
