RESOLUTION NO. 05-15 <br />RESOLUTION REQUESTING ASSISTANCE FROM ANOKA AND RAMSEY <br />COUNTIES AS IT RELATES TO THE RENAMING OF COUNTY ROAD 10 <br />FROM INTERSTATE 35W TO TRUNK HIGHWAY 47 <br />WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View believes the name County Road 10 is a <br />source of confusion for the general public due to the fact that State Highway 10 is in such <br />close proximity; and, <br />WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council was considering renaming their <br />portion of County Road 10, "Mounds View Boulevard", but concluded that it would be <br />advantageous to have one name for the roadway as it passes through Spring Lake Park <br />and Blaine and that the new name could and should serve as a common thread to identify <br />and represent the north suburban area as a whole; and, <br />WHEREAS, at the City of Mounds View's request, a task force was created <br />comprised of representatives from Mounds View, Spring Lake Park, Blaine, Coon Rapids <br />and the Anoka County Highway Department, to discuss potential names that would serve <br />the identified goals of minimizing confusion for the general public and representing the <br />north suburban area as a whole; and, <br />WHEREAS, the Task Force submitted two such names and submitted them to <br />the respective City Councils for consideration however, the Mounds View City Council, <br />rejected the proposed names and intends to consider an ordinance in June, renaming their <br />portion of Comity Road 10 to Mounds View Boulevard without regard for the confusion <br />it will create for the general public who wish to access homes and/or businesses located <br />in Spring Lake Park and Blaine from Interstate 35W. <br />NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of <br />Spring Lake Park is hereby requesting that Anoka County and Ramsey County assist <br />in any way possible to shed light on the potential for further confusion for the general <br />public and to facilitate further discussion of a name that is advantageous to all three <br />communities. <br />Harley Wells, Mayor <br />ATTEST: <br />Barbara L.
