Their <br />concerns are primarily due to increased traffic, and pedestrian safety (Red Oak does not have a <br />sidewalk). MTC has since, moved the route off of Red Oak Drive, and onto Long Lake Road. <br /> <br />MTC has discussed the re-route onto Quincy Street with ISD 621’s Superintendent’s Office. At <br />the August 22nd Council meeting, a Quincy Street resident opposed the route due to conflicts <br />with school traffic. If the route were shifted off of Quincy and onto Jackson (no sidewalks), bus <br />stops would be ¼ mile further from Mounds View Mobile Home Park. <br /> <br />All route changes take effect in December or March, and require a finalization three months <br />ahead of time (e.g. August 31st deadline if to start in December 1st). If there are any significant <br />objections, then the December start will be delayed until March. <br /> <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Maintain and plan for infrastructure improvements including waste water, water, and <br />transportation. <br /> <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />N/A <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff requests that the City Council review the attached materials and ask questions. MTC Staff <br />will be in attendance. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> Jon Sevald, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />ATTACHED <br />Route 25 Map <br />Metro Transit presentation, March 24, 2022
