CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 01 -32
REQUESTING A REDUCTION OF THE SPEED LIMIT ON HODGSON ROAD (CSAH 49)
WHEREAS, Anoka County and the City of Lino Lakes are discussing the potential
reconstruction of Hodgson Road (CSAH 49) between County Road J and Lake Drive; and
WHEREAS, residents from Lino Lakes have expressed concern about the impact of the
proposed reconstruction of this roadway segment as a 50 mile per hour roadway; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes does not approve of the design options presented to date
and wants to develop additional safe design options, and
WHEREAS, it is important for both Anoka County and the City of Lino Lakes to work in
cooperation to develop a design that meets the objectives and goals of both the County and the
City; and
WHEREAS, a reduction in the speed limit on this segment of CSAH 49 from 50 miles per hour
to 45 miles per hour would allow Anoka County additional, safe roadway design flexibility to
respond to the City's concerns; and
WHEREAS, a 45 mile per hour speed limit would provide consistency within the roadway
corridor which extends through Shoreview and into Lino Lakes along Hodgson Road.
