MemberDahl introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />CITY OF LINO LAKES <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2000- 31 <br />RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CONTINUATION OF METROPOLITAN BUS <br />ROUTES 271 AND 213 IN LINO LAKES <br />WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes currently receives bus service from <br />Metropolitan Council routes 271 and 213; and <br />WHEREAS, bus routes 271 and 213 are relied upon by city residents for <br />transportation to jobs and other activities; and <br />WHEREAS, the rate of population increase in the City of Lino Lakes and the <br />surrounding area is among the tenth highest in the metropolitan area; and <br />WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes, being concerned about urban sprawl and <br />traffic congestion, has encouraged the use of mass transit and incorporated higher density <br />housing into its Town Center design; and <br />WHEREAS, the success of the developing Town Center and a resulting decrease <br />in reliance on private vehicle usage is highly dependent upon reliable bus service; and <br />WHEREAS, proposed changes to the current service provided by bus routes 271 <br />and 213 appear to reduce the availability, convenience and reliability of mass transit to <br />Lino Lakes residents; and <br />WHEREAS, the negative effects of the proposed changes will multiply as <br />population continues to grow, which seems counter productive to stated Metropolitan <br />goals and to adopted city goals. <br />
