Hanson <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484-4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: March 3, 1994 <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: David Harris <br />RE: Policy for Posting Street <br />As you know, spring is again upon us and with it comes the <br />posting of streets due to the freeze /thaw cycles that occur this <br />time of year. Streets are posted at certain set limits to <br />eliminate the unnecessary and damaging loading caused by heavy <br />vehicles. <br />With this memo is a set of maps of the streets and how they are <br />posted in Little Canada. The first map shows how the streets are <br />posted at this time. The second map is a proposed system of <br />posting for the City of Little Canada. After much discussion <br />with Mike Lynch and Harlan Olsen of Bonestroo the following <br />consensus was reached to recommend to the Council to adopt as a <br />policy. That all roads which are urban sections be posted at a 5 <br />ton per axle limit. <br />The urban sections have curb and gutter and a way to channel the <br />water to a storm sewer system. The rural sections, due to the <br />fact they are more flat in nature and water is very slow to <br />drain. A recommendation that those streets be posted at the 3 <br />ton axle limit. Setting forth this policy should help to <br />alleviate much of the confusion in handling phone calls from <br />different contractors as to which roads are posted. It will also <br />extend the life of some of the existing pavements in Little <br />Canada. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. <br />Page 61 <br />
