CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE STP ISTEA GRANT FOR A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
ACROSS HIGHWAY 10
WHEREAS, Highway 10 inhibits the safe and easy passage
by pedestrians and bicyclists because of the high volume of
traffic, the high speed of traffic, as well as the wide and
numver of lanes to cross; and,
WHEREAS, Highway 10 dissects the City of Mounds View in
half, discouraging pedestrian and bicycling mobility even though
the distances between facilities and services is short; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View has a system of
trailways planned by the Trailways Advocacy Group which will
provide for good pedestrian and bicycling transportation with the
only problem area being the safe passage across Highway 10; and,
WHEREAS, the accident rate on Highway 10 is significant
as documented by the Police Department and Highway Patrol,
providing good reason for means by which safe passage for
pedestrian and bicyclists can be accommodated; and,
WHEREAS, there are already sidewalks and trailways in
place leading to the services and facilities of the City located
on Highway 10, however, there is no means of safe passage across
Highway 10 to connect these sidewalks and trailways across
Highway 10; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Mounds View is
interested in providing for the safety and welfare of it's
citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of
the City of Mounds View does hereby approve the submission of a
