RESOLUTION R-94-06 A RESOLUTION ORDERING THE PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE 1994 STREET SEALCOATING IMPROVEMENT UPDATE ON THE LARPENTEUR AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION PLANNING PROCESS Hoyt indicated that after a several month hiatus, the county recently began meeting with communities again on Larpenteur Avenue now that the project is nearly certain of federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Act (ISTEA) funding. Maurer presented the preliminary ideas on the plan emphasizing safety needs which include protected turn lanes for left turns all along Larpenteur. Hustad inquired about sidewalks particularly from Arona to Hamline Ave. Jacobs questioned whether consideration has been given to mass transit. Gehrz also expressed interest in sidewalks on both sides of Larpenteur west of Snelling. After continuing brief discussion, council requested city administrator to contact the county encouraging them to streamline the process for planning and to give the project very high priority. In addition, the administrator is to explore the opportunity for the county to contract with the city to undertake the design phase of this project within Falcon Heights (Fulham St. to Hamline Ave.) RESOLUTION FOR THE NORTHWEST YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES (NYFS) APPLICATION FOR 1994 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS The NYFS is considering purchasing a building and requests the city's support for the 1994 CDBG application to Ramsey County. Staff is not recommending that the city apply for these funds in 1994 because of its 1993 award and the necessity of carefully developing a project that meets both the need criteria of the block grant and the community. Gibson Talbot moved to adopt R-94-07. Motion carried unanimously.
