27
A.28 Ordinance 2026-01 - Amending Sections Of The City Code Related To Vision Triangle,
29 Administrative Penalties, Mobile Food Units, Impervious Surfaces, Scavengers,
30 Definitions Of Rodents, Amusement Devices, And Sign Enforcement.
31
32 Mayor Webster stated that this is a first reading of this ordinance. The Council first heard the
33 proposed amendments at the Work Session on February 24, 2026, and the proposed language
34 was then shared at the Planning Commission meeting on March 17, 2026. The Council reviewed
35 the first reading along with the Planning Commission comments.
36
37 City Planner Grittman asked Mayor Webster whether he should provide information on each
38 item or leave it open for questions and comments. Mayor Webster commented that they
39 discussed these items at length in the Work Session. She suggested that City Planner Grittman
40 provide a summary, then allow Council to comment on each item in turn.
41
42 City Planner Grittman stated that vision triangle language exists in the current code in many
43 ways. The new proposed code seeks to clarify the current language and better explain what a
44 vision triangle is. The new code will include a graphic to visualize the language. A vision
45 triangle is a triangle at an intersection that attempts to minimize obstructions to traffic's vision.
46
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 14, 2026
Page 3
1 Councilmember Jenson appreciated the graphic's clarity.
2
3 Councilmember Doolan asked if houses were on a corner if they were adjacent to an alley, not
4 just a street. City Planner Grittman stated that houses adjacent to alleys would be considered
5 corner units, provided the alley intersected with a street.
6
7 Councilmember Doolan had a question regarding Section F. She asked whether only the utility
8 features and signage are grandfathered, or whether plantings would also be grandfathered. City
9 Planner Grittman stated there is no immediate intention to remove planted objects within the
10 triangle. Still, they would not necessarily be grandfathered in, as the City has permission to
11 remove these objects if they become a public safety concern.
12
13 Mayor Webster proposed that the Council move on to the next point, administrative penalties.
14
15 Councilmember Elnagdy cited that in City Planner Grittman’s memo, an appeals process is
16 mentioned as a response option. The actual language stated that “a party can seek judicial review
17 as provided in state law.” She questioned why an internal appeal and review process was not
18 chosen instead. City Planner Grittman informed the Council that the administrative penalty
19 section is a City-based opportunity for someone who has committed a violation to make their
20 case. The violator would appear before the City Examiner instead of the Council. This is the
21 City-based method for appealing a violation. If the violator is not satisfied with the City-based
22 appeal, they can appeal to the U.S. District Court.
23
24 Councilmember Doolan stated there is concern to ensure everyone is treated fairly and equally
25 throughout this process. She commented that Section 2C is a good start, noting that the City
26 Clerk must establish a process for evaluating the City Examiner's competency. However, she
27 questioned if there could be more criteria, such as the Hearing Examiner being an expert in a
28 particular field. She stated that if citizens lack faith in processes, unclear selection criteria could
29 damage trust. City Planner Grittman stated that it is envisioned that the Council will provide an
30 approved list of potential City Examiners, and that it would be the Clerk’s job to select an
31 Examiner from the approved list to hold the first hearing. The appellant would have the
32 opportunity to object, and upon an objection, the Clerk would choose a second Examiner from
33 the list. The opportunity to object allows the appellant to have a say in who their judge is.
34
35 Councilmember Doolan asked whether the suggested addition would be included in a previously
36 presented flowchart that explains the appeals process more visually. City Planner Grittman stated
37 that he believed this was the plan.
38
39 City Planner Grittman explained that the mobile food unit regulations in St. Anthony were
40 modified to protect the interests of an ice cream vendor. Exceptions to the regulations were
41 created to exempt businesses like ice cream vendors and lunch trucks from current regulations.
42 Otherwise, the language of this section restricts food trucks to event locations where they are
43 serving the property owner or the event occurring, or to the on-site location of the brick-and-
44 mortar restaurant from which the food truck operates.
45
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 14, 2026
Page 4
1 Councilmember Doolan highlighted that special event permits can be restrictive in who is
2 allowed to obtain them. She asked whether there was a process for applying for a conditional use
3 permit for a non-City event. Councilmember Doolan provided an example of how her neighbor
4 hosts a carnival in the middle of the street in the summer and asked how they could acquire a
5 conditional use permit. Mayor Webster stated that she believed Councilmember Doolan’s
6 neighbor could contract with a food truck, allow it to park in their driveway, and have food
7 served.
8
9 City Planner Grittman explained that if they had a special events permit, they could host the food
10 truck. He confirmed that the event described would qualify for the special events permit.
11
12 City Planner Grittman highlighted that impervious surfaces are primarily a clarification
13 amendment. He explained that the new language clarifies that impervious surfaces are regulated,
14 included in lot coverage, and calculated. Specifically, City Planner Grittman stated that the new
15 language explains that pavers are not considered pervious in St. Anthony due to the soil quality.
16
17 City Planner Grittman informed the Council that the section on scavengers eliminates the license
18 requirement to remove items a property owner has set out for removal or refuse, but retains the
19 requirement for the property owner's permission.
20
21 City Planner Grittman stated that there is currently no clear definition of rodents in the housing
22 maintenance code for the management of rodents in rental dwellings. The proposed amendment
23 adds a list of rodents that must be protected from in housing units and rental dwellings.
24
25 City Planner Grittman provided information that a City license is currently required to operate an
26 arcade. In the new proposed language, this requirement will be removed. Arcades would be
27 allowed as an entertainment venue in St. Anthony’s commercial zone.
28
29 City Planner Grittman added that the current sign removal policies read as though they apply to
30 the entire city of St. Anthony. The was amended to limit enforcement of sign removal and
31 disposal policies to non-single and two-family zoning districts.
32
33 Motion by Councilmember Jenson, seconded by Councilmember Doolan, to approve the first
34 reading of ordinance 2026-01 Amending Sections Of The City Code Related To Vision Triangle,
35 Administrative Penalties, Mobile Food Units, Impervious Surfaces, Scavengers, Definitions Of
36 Rodents, Amusement Devices, and Sign Enforcement.
37
38 Motion carried 4-0.

40 IX.GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL.
41
A.42 Resolution 26-031 - Awarding Professional Services Contract And Authorizing Purchase
43 Of Valves For The Water Treatment Plant Valve Replacements.
44
45 Mayor Webster reviewed information from the January goal-setting session, noting that the
46 valves in the water treatment plant are original to the building and need to be replaced. She
47
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 14, 2026
Page 5
1 welcomed WSB Project Engineer Koscielak to present on the contract for the replacement valves
2 of the water treatment plant.
3
4 WSB Project Engineer Koscielak presented information on valve replacement at the water
5 treatment plant. She highlighted the age of current valves, which are more susceptible to issues
6 such as leaks, corrosion, and operational problems. WSB Project Engineer Koscielak also stated
7 that automating the valves increases the efficiency of the water treatment plant and all City
8 Works employees. The lowest quote was achieved for the furnishing of the 39 Butterfly Valves
9 through Rep Rite Burk & Associates and the upgrades to the SCADA system through Dusk
10 Systems.
11
12 Councilmember Jenson asked whether the monitoring aspect could be completed at the Public
13 Works building rather than at the Water Treatment Plant. WSB Project Engineer Koscielak
14 stated that she believed it would mainly remain at the Water Treatment Plant.
15
16 City Manager Yunker informed the Council that it is common to set up water treatment plants as
17 technological “islands.” Alarms can be sent to staff, but remoting them in is not allowed for
18 security purposes. It is commonly preferred for staff to remain on-site.
19
20 Motion by Councilmember Elnagdy, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution
21 26-031 - Awarding Professional Services Contract and Authorizing Purchase Of Valves For The
22 Water Treatment Plant Valve Replacements.
23
24 Motion carried 4-0.
25
B.26 2026 Goals Update (No Action Needed).
27
28 Mayor Webster clarified that the item is a quarterly update on progress towards goals established
29 at the goal-setting session in January.
30
31 City Manager Yunker presented information on the 2026 Goals Update. He provided information
32 on Action Steps and Progress Updates for Environmental Responsibility, Thriving Village,
33 Informed & Engaged Community, Safe & Secure Community, and Fiscal & Organizational
34 Strength.
35
36 X.REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
37
38 City Manager Yunker reported that an update was received from the property owner of the
39 triangle parcel in the 2534 Kenzie Terrace redevelopment. This parcel was scheduled to be
40 returned to the City, but was undergoing a process with the MPCA to assess contamination in the
41 area. City Manager Yunker informed the Council that this process was now complete and that
42 the City can begin closing on the property.
43
44 Councilmember Elnagdy reported that she attended the Park Summit with Sports Boosters,
45 Public Works, and the Parks and Environmental Commission. Councilmember Elnagdy also
46 attended the Community Advisory Committee meeting. She noted that exciting summer plans

1 are in the works. Councilmember Elnagdy added that she attended Fire Ops 101, where she
2 experienced what it's like to be a firefighter.
3
4 Councilmember Jenson reported that he attended Connect with the Council, the work session on
5 parks and park usage fees, the Ramsey County Local League of Governments Climate Action
6 Working Committee, the Ramsey County Local League of Governments Program Meeting, and
7 the Northeast Youth and Family Services open house.
8
9 Councilmember Doolan reported she also attended the Parks Summit and the Connect with the
10 Council event.
11
12 Mayor Webster reported that she met with Metro Inet to test new security systems. Mayor
13 Webster also attended the Parks Summit and the Connect with the Council event.
14
15 XI.COMMUNITY FORUM.
16
17 Dr. Bibi Neumann, a resident, highlighted that the public record is not functioning as it should.
18 She stated that the March 24, 2026 minutes did not substantively capture public comments. She
19 noted that the names listed were sometimes incorrect and that the general summaries did not
20 reflect what was said, and that this prevents residents from determining who spoke, what issues
21 were raised, or how the comments relate to City decisions. She also stated that the Consent
22 Agenda continues to lack sufficient discussion on the record and that Licenses and Permits are
23 approved without stated criteria or a compliance context. Dr. Neumann noted that the check
24 register indicates over half a million dollars in expenditures without explanation, and that grants
25 are noted as received without indicating that many are reimbursement-based and contingent. She
26 also highlighted that the EDA Opt-In Resolution is a material policy decision, but there is no
27 record of local engagement, city-specific analysis, or information about how this will impact
28 residents and businesses in St. Anthony. Dr. Neumann commented that the administrative
29 penalties section of the ordinance amendments establishes a new enforcement structure and that
30 this is a shift in how the City exercises power over residents, but she stated that she felt it was
31 not being clearly explained. She finished by noting that the City keeps a detailed record of its
32 own actions, but fails to document public comments in the same manner. She highlighted that
33 written submissions are not incorporated into the materials and that this creates a system in
34 which participation occurs but is not meaningfully preserved.
35
36 Carl Neumann, resident, began by stating that it is very difficult to hear when the microphones
37 are turned off. He noted that this is worsened because he is a veteran and, as a result of his
38 service, has more difficulty hearing. He addressed the water treatment plant upgrades and stated
39 that he felt it should be segregated in its own network. He highlighted that the purchase items,
40 the PLCs and SCADA devices, are well-known vulnerable devices which are prone to [cyber]
41 attacks. He noted a 230 percent increase in attacks, 97 percent targeting small cities, and stated
42 that this underscores the importance of maintaining segregation of our water treatment plants and
43 ICS systems. He stated that small towns cannot defend against these attacks, sometimes launched
44 by other states, and that they require a significant increase in spending or a dedicated task force
45 to monitor them. He strongly concurred with City Manager Yunker that the water treatment plant
46 should be a technical island, regardless of efficiency or convenience.

14 from multiple perspectives, so they can build programming that helps foster this kind of
15 individual. Councilmember Elnagdy also highlighted the Clothing Swap at Silverwood Park on

Liability Coverage Waiver Form Page 1
LIABILITY COVERAGE WAIVER FORM
Members who obtain liability coverage from LMCIT must decide whether to waive the statutory tort liability limits to
the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision to waive or not waive the statutory tort limits must be made
annually by the member’s governing body, in consultation with its attorney if necessary. The decision has the
following effects:
•If the member does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant could recover no more than
$500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total all claimants could recover for a single
occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000. These statutory tort limits
would apply regardless of whether the member purchases the optional LMCIT excess liability coverage.
•If the member waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single claimant
could recover up to $2,000,000 for a single occurrence (under the waive option, the tort cap liability limits are
only waived to the extent of the member’s liability coverage limits, and the LMCIT per occurrence limit is
$2,000,000). The total all claimants could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply
would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of claimants.
•If the member waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant could
potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total all claimants could recover for
a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage
purchased, regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.

Section 4. Section §10.98 is hereby deleted in its entirety and amended to read as
follows:
§ 10.98 SUPPLEMENTAL ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES.
[This section deleted and replaced with:]
PURPOSE:
3
(A) For violations of City Code not voluntarily cured by the offender, the City Council seeks to
offer an alternative method of compelling compliance for city code violations rather than
relying solely on the judiciary for such relief. To provide more flexibility in addressing city
code violations on an individual basis that will be more efficient and effective and to ensure
a process for administrative relief before engaging the judicial system, the City Council finds
that an alternative method to compel compliance to be necessary.
(B) APPLICATION: In addition to those administrative penalties established in this code and the
enforcement powers granted in §10.20, supplemental administrative penalties are hereby
established. They may not proscribe administrative penalties for traffic offenses designated
by M.S. § 169.999, as it may be amended from time to time. The administrative procedures
and penalties in this section may, at the discretion of the City, be used for any violation of
the City Code or any violation of the terms and conditions of a City approval, including, but
not limited to, permits and licenses, required and granted under the city code. Administrative
citations are a non-criminal penalty which may be issued to a person or business when city
code is violated. The penalty includes a fine(s), which vary depending on the nature of the
violation. The issuance of administrative citations differs among various sections of code
based upon the nature, severity and frequency of the violation. Specific fee amounts shall be
established annually within the city fee schedule.
(C) EXCEPTIONS: Except as expressly provided in this section, the provisions of this section
may be used concurrently with or in addition to any other procedure or remedy, criminal or
civil, the City may pursue under city code, state law, or federal law. Nothing herein restricts
the right of the City to enter property immediately or to seek other remedies in emergency or
other situations as authorized by city code, state law, or federal law. Where differences occur
between provisions of this section and other applicable city code sections, this section
controls to the extent of such differences. No provision of the City Code that provides a
criminal procedure or penalty, or an administrative or civil procedure or penalty, for a
violation of the city code shall preclude the application of this section in its entirety to such
violation. The penalties and procedures provided in this section shall be applicable to every
section and chapter of the city code. The penalties and procedures provided by this section
shall apply to any amendment of the city code, whether such penalty is reenacted in the
amendment, unless otherwise provided in such amendment. Unless otherwise stated, any and
all subsequent administrative penalties issued upon the same property, for the same offense
and within the same calendar year, or for failure to correct a violation within the allotted
timeframe, shall cause the established fine to double over the amount of the previous penalty
imposed.
(D) ISSUING CITATIONS
(1) Any person with authority to seek compliance to the city code may, upon a reasonable
belief that there has been a violation of city code, issue an Administrative Citation to the
violator or party responsible for the violation via first class mail to the address of the
subject property, and to the owner according to County property records, if the address is
such owner is different. The citations shall state the nature of the violation, the date of
the violation, the name of the person authorized by the City Manager to issue such
4
citation, the amount of the civil administrative penalty, and the method of paying the
penalty, the required actions to remedy the violation, and the method for appealing the
citation.
(2) The recipient of an administrative penalty may, any time prior to the due date established
in the administrative citation, contact the issuing party and present a plan to come into
compliance. If the plan to become compliant is accepted by the city, the established due
date shall be amended to a date (5) five days following the established last date to
become compliant. The established timeline to reach compliance shall be at the earliest
reasonable date, dependent (in the judgment of the City) upon circumstances and
potential for harm, which may be amended or extended by the City as necessary upon a
good faith showing of progress toward compliance.
(3) The City shall notify a recipient of an Administrative Penalty of their right to contest the
citation as outlined in Sections 1098 (F) and 1098 (G). The City shall also appoint a
neutral third party to hear and rule on challenges to administrative citations authorized
by the city code.
(4) At any time after the date the payment of the administrative penalty is due, if the
administrative penalty remains unpaid or the situation creating the alleged violation
remains uncorrected, the City, through its Attorney, may bring an action to enforce in
accordance with state law and this code. Likewise, the City, in its discretion, may bring
charges for a violation in the first instance, rather than requesting the payment of an
administrative penalty, even if a penalty for the violation has been established. If the
administrative penalty is paid, or if any requested correction of the situation resulting in
the violation is completed, no charges shall be initiated by the City for the alleged
violation.
(5) The failure to pay an Administrative Citation or petition for an Administrative Hearing
within 14 business days after the citation is issued, or failure to attend a scheduled
Administrative Hearing, constitutes a waiver of the violator's right to a future
Administrative Hearing and is an admission of the violation.
(E) FEES ESTABLISHED. Administrative fines in an amount set forth by the City Council
within Chapter 33.
(F) ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS
(1) Request for Hearing. Anyone in violation of any section of the City Code may either
pay the Administrative Penalty, as established by Section Chapter 33, or seek a
hearing according to the requirements of this Section.
(2) Hearing Examiner. The position of Hearing Examiner is hereby created.
(3) The City Manager, or their designee, may, at their discretion, contract with third
parties for the furnishing of all services of the Hearing Examiner as contained in this
chapter and set the rate of compensation therefor.
(4) The City Council will periodically approve a list of qualified individuals, from which
the City Clerk will randomly select a Hearing Examiner best suited to hear and
determine a matter for which a hearing is requested.
(5) The Hearing Examiner must not be a city employee and the City Clerk must establish
a procedure for evaluating the competency of the Hearing Examiner, including
5
comments from citation recipients and city staff. These reports must be provided to
the City Council.
(6) Removal of the Hearing Examiner. No later than five days before the date of the
hearing, the recipient of the citation may make a written request during business
hours that the assigned Hearing Examiner be removed from the case. The City Clerk
will automatically grant one request for removal. A subsequent request must be
directed to the assigned Hearing Examiner who will decide whether they can fairly
and objectively review the case. If the Hearing Examiner determines they cannot
fairly and objectively review the case, the Hearing Examiner shall notify the city
clerk in writing at least one business day before the scheduled hearing date. The City
Clerk will then assign another Hearing Examiner.
(7) Qualifications. The Hearing Examiner shall be an individual trained in law; however,
it shall not be required that the Hearing Examiner be currently licensed to practice
law in the State of Minnesota. The City Manager shall establish specific
qualifications based on comparable requirements prevalent in the State of Minnesota,
along with knowledge of both local government and administrative law and
procedures.
(8) Duties. The Hearing Examiner shall have the following duties:
(a) Set dates and hear all contested cases;
(b) Take testimony from all interested parties;
(c) Examine all facts, evidence and testimony presented;
(d) Make a complete written record of all proceedings including findings of fact and
conclusions of law; and
(e) Affirm, dismiss or modify the Administrative Citation and/or the Administrative
Penalty assessed; and
(f) See to the preservation of the record of the proceedings, including all submitted
evidence and list of witnesses.
(G) Hearing procedure. Any person issued an administrative penalty within the City of St
Anthony may petition the city, in writing and during business hours, for an administrative
hearing before a Hearing Examiner. All administrative hearings will take place at the St Anthony
City Council Chambers within City Hall or other administrative room within the building if
Chambers are not available (3301 Silver Lake Road NE) between business hours as needed
Monday through Friday; the hearings may be in-person or virtual. The Hearing Examiner may
schedule an alternative date and time upon the written consent of all parties subject to the
administrative hearing.
(1) All such petitions shall identify with specificity the basis for the objection to the
administrative citation and the interpretation of the City Code, as well as summarizing any
evidence the petitioner intends to present. Such requests shall be filed in writing to the City
Manager, or their designee, within 14 business days after the ordinance administrative
penalty is issued.
6
(2) The city will confirm request of an administrative hearing and include information on
the administrative penalty hearing fee as outlined in the City Fee Schedule. This fee will be
refunded if the administrative citation is dismissed, but not if affirmed or modified. The City
Manager or their designee will schedule the hearing and will notify the violator and involved
city staff, of the date, time and location of the hearing. Parties are expected to be available at
the hearing for a minimum of two hours. Notice of the hearing must be mailed to the violator
and the Hearing Examiner at least ten days in advance of the scheduled hearing, unless a
shorter time is accepted by all parties. The notice must contain the name of the parties, the
identity of the Hearing Examiner, the property of the alleged violation and the type of
violation alleged.
(3) Continuance. A request for a continuance must be made to the City Manager, or
designee during business hours at least five days prior to the scheduled hearing date. The
City Manager or designee may grant a continuance at the request of the violator or the city
staff member only for good cause shown and for no more than ten days from the original
assigned date.
(4) File transmittal. Upon receipt of any request for a hearing, the City Manager, or
designee will compile a summary report detailing the facts in support of any determination
that the offense constitutes a violation. The summary report must be provided to the hearing
officer on the business day preceding the scheduled hearing and shall include the following
information:
(a) Copy of the administrative penalty sent to the petitioner;
(b) Copy of the case history established by the city employee(s), including written
accounts correspondences, photos or videos;
(c) Proof of mailing and/or posting of notice on the property if the citation was not
personally served on the violator.
(5) Presentation of case. At the hearing, the parties will have the opportunity to present
testimony and question any witnesses, but strict rules of evidence will not apply and the
Hearing Examiner will determine the admissibility of any evidence and/or testimony. All
administrative hearings will be recorded with an audio recording device. A transcript of the
administrative hearing will be transcribed and retained pursuant to the Minnesota
Government Data Practices Act. The Hearing Examiner will take testimony from the
petitioner and any corroborating witnesses who wish to testify. The Hearing Examiner will
then take testimony from the city. Both the petitioner and the city may appear with legal
counsel.
(6) Decision.
(a) The Hearing Examiner must issue a written decision containing findings of fact,
conclusions of law and an order. The decision will be mailed to the parties within ten
days after the hearing. The Hearing Examiner has the authority to determine that a
violation occurred, to dismiss a citation, to impose the scheduled fine, and to reduce, stay,
7
or waive a scheduled fine either unconditionally or upon compliance with appropriate
conditions. When imposing a penalty for a violation, the Hearing Examiner may consider
any or all of the following factors:
1. Duration of the violation;
2. Frequency of reoccurrence of the violation;
3. Seriousness of the violation;
4. History of the violation;
5. Violator's conduct after issuance of the administrative notice and citation;
6. Violator's conduct after issuance of the notice of hearing;
7. Good faith effort by the violator to comply;
8. Impact of the violation upon the community;
9. Prior record of city code violations; and
10. Any other factors appropriate to a just result.
(b) The Hearing Examiner may not impose a fine greater than the established fine,
except that the Hearing Examiner may impose a fine for each week that the violation
continues if:
1. The violation caused or is causing a serious threat of harm to the public
health, safety, or welfare; or
2. The violator intentionally and unreasonably refused or refuses to comply with
the code requirement.
(7) Failure to appear. The failure to attend the hearing constitutes a waiver of the violator's
rights to an administrative hearing and an admission of the violation. A Hearing Examiner
may waive this result upon good cause shown. Examples of "good cause" are: death in
the immediate family or documented incapacitating illness of the violator; a court order
requiring the violator to appear for another hearing at the same time; and lack of proper
service of the citation or notice of the hearing. "Good cause" does not include:
forgetfulness; lack of transportation or child care; and intentional delay.
(8) Decisions of the Hearing Examiner are final and uncontestable, subject to the rights of an
aggrieved party to seek judicial review as provided in state law. Any unpaid fines shall be
paid immediately following an upholding of a citation by the Hearing Examiner. Failure to
do so shall be cause for the imposition of additional penalties established within the City fee
schedule.

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Justin Messner, City Engineer
Date:April 28, 2026
Request: Resolution 26-036 – Committing to a Complete Streets Approach for People of
All Ages and Abilities
BACKGROUND
As a follow up from the City’s Active Transportation Plan, the City is requesting that Council approves a
resolution that identifies the City’s commitment to Complete Streets design principles.
Complete Streets is a design approach that supports the design for all people using the roadway,
including people walking, biking, using transit and driving. This principle shifts the focus from designing
roadways for vehicles to designing roadways to balance safety, access and mobility for all users.
Complete Streets are context sensitive, meaning designs need to reflect the context and needs of the
area. Streets that are designed with complete streets principles support people to choose different
modes of travel, but the design of the roadway and the modes the design supports would reflect the
needs of the surrounding area.
As part of the resolution, the City would be committing to utilizing the Complete Streets approach when
designing and implementing street resurfacing and reconstruction projects. These principles align with
many design standards of City Engineers use to date, and the resolution would clarify the City’s values.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 26-036 which commits the City to a complete streets
approach for people of all ages and abilities.

always considered first during transportation planning and implementation” as
well as an All-Abilities Transportation Plan; and

that provides guidance on how to implement and comply with the requirements of
the policy.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of City of Saint Anthony
Village, Minnesota hereby commits to supporting a Complete Streets approach to planning,
