ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council approve a Resolution establishing a No On-Street
Parking Zone along the west side of Olson Lake Trail (CSAH 13) from 44th Street to 50th Street?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: In 2017, Washington County will be reconstructing CSAH 13
(Ideal Avenue/Olson Lake Trail) from 44th Street North to 50th Street North including street, drainage, trail,
and sanitary sewer improvements. The approved 36-foot wide street section design for Olson Lake Trail
meets County State Aid design standards with an 8-foot parking lane on the east side (Lake Elmo side) and
with no parking on the west side (Oakdale side). State Aid rules require a council resolution establishing a
No Parking Zone along the western side of the improved corridor. The resolution must be submitted
together with the completed project plans in order obtain State Aid plan approval and before State Aid
funds may be expended on the improvement. Parking will be prohibited along the west side of Olson Lake
Trail (CSAH 13), from 44th Street to 50th Street.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2017-XXX
establishing a No On-Street Parking Zone along the west side of Olson Lake Trail (CSAH 13) from 44th
Street to 50th Street. The recommended motion for the action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2017-054 establishing a No On-Street Parking Zone along the west
side of Olson Lake Trail (CSAH 13) from 44th Street to 50th Street.”
