Residents who live along Auburn Street have been before the planning commission repeatedly of late to express their concerns, most of which center on the speed at which the traffic moves through the devel- opment. The city considered adding · speed bumps, but residents voted them down for fear of crc- dren's safety in the neighbor- hood have continued to press for a solution, and the city is ready to propose one to the residents who live on Auburn Street and north of it in Hillside Estates 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th additions. The neighborhood meeting is slated for 6 p.m. Thursday, March 25, at Elk River City Hall. City Engineer Terry Maurer will present a plan to sever Auburn Street at the point where NSP power lines cross over the roadway on the upper portion of the road. If construct- ed, the flow of through traffic would effectively be eliminated. Current residents of the .north to get out to Highway 169, as opposed to 193rd Avenue. So would residents who live north of Hillside Estates. As ~development continues, more connecting streets will be built. But none of them would provide such a direct shortcut to Highway 169, Maurer said. "By severing the road, you would cut out the point in the roadway where people are real- ly picking up speed and coming around blind corners," said Doran Cote, a resident along Auburn Street who also serves as the chair of the planning commission. Under the proposal Auburn Street would be split,' capped on be landscaped. A path for bicy- clists and walkers could also be built. "If there's overwhelming sup- port at the meeting, weq] report that to the council and see what they want to do," said Maurer, who will relay the results of the meeting to the council. 'Tm hoping the residents to the northeast see a benefit to this," said Dave Crocker, who livea'along Auburn. If support exists and/or the council desires to proceed, the question of who will pay for the project would have to be resolved. Auburn cont'd to page 5
