It has been an objective of the city to initiate 139 an access management plan for this corridor that includes bicycle and pedestrian safety 140 improvements. The city had also received a petition to improve the Birch St and Ware Road 141 intersection. Anoka County initiated a study and last year the council received a report on their 142 recommendations. The council was concerned at that time about the four-lane divided roadway, 143 raised median type proposal and suggested an approach of short term improvements to balance safety 144 with convenience would be more appropriate. City staff has therefore worked with the county to 145 include a more staged approach to improvements for this corridor and those are reflected in the report 146 presented now. The council had reviewed the report at a work session; Mr. Grochala briefly reviewed 147 the recommendations. 148 149 The mayor recalled that the county has sought to make Birch Street a divided four-lane roadway even 150 though that wasn't what the people along the corridor seemed to want. It is refreshing to see that the 151 county has now gotten the message and is coming forward with a plan that is more toward the culture 152 and nature of the area. Since the recommendations in the report may in some ways fall to future 153 councils as development occurs in the vicinity, he has requested that the council consider only 154 acceptance of the report and not its recommendations. 155 156 Council Member Rafferty moved to approve Resolution No. 11-38 accepting the corridor report. 157 Council Member Roeser seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote; Council Member 58 Gallup absent. 159 160 6D) Resolution No. 11-39 related to special legislation for tax increment financing in the City of 161 Lino Lakes - Community Development Director Grochala explained that the resolution formally 162 expresses the city's support for special legislation at the state level extending the duration of Tax 163 Increment District No. 1-10 through the year 2023 and devoting tax increment to the payment of debt 164 service on the Legacy at Woods Edge improvements and 35W interchange improvements. He has 165 testified at the state legislature and said special legislation is now included in House and Senate bills. 166 167 Council Member Roeser moved to approve Resolution No. 11-39 as presented. Council Member 168 O'Donnell seconded the motion.
