provide information on what next steps they would need to follow to implement a speed change on <br />Goodview Avenue South of Egg Lake Road. Goodview Avenue (south of County Road 8) is <br />currently posted as a 50 MPH roadway. Improvements completed along the roadway with the <br />2020 Goodview Avenue Street Improvement project included widening the road from a 24-foot <br />width to a 26-foot width. To accommodate MnDOT’s policy for a state aid roadway with a design <br />speed of 50 MPH or higher, the wider roadway allows for two 11-foot driving lanes and two 2-foot <br />paved shoulders. Should the City Council determine that they would be in favor of reducing speed <br />limit on Goodview Avenue to 40 MPH (consistent with Goodview Avenue north of County Road <br />8), the driving lane could be reduced to 10 feet, allowing an additional foot of paved shoulder on <br />both sides of the roadway. The wider shoulder would provide a safer route for pedestrians and <br />bicyclists, which was a large concern for residents participating in the public hearings for this <br />project. Staff recommends Council approve the resolution reducing the speed limit along that <br />portion of Goodview to 40 mph. <br /> <br />M.1 Yellow Ribbon Network Update <br /> <br />Council Member Chuck Haas and Council Member Phil Klein will report to Council on the <br />Yellow Ribbon Network activities held recently. <br /> <br />N.1 Arcand Park Grand Opening on Wednesday, October 7, 2020 <br /> <br />Council has scheduled a meeting to attend the Grand Opening of Arcand Park on Wednesday, <br />October 7, 2020, at 3 p.m. The park is located at 13246 Fondant Trail North. <br /> <br />N.2 Lions Park Community Workshop on Monday, October 12, 2020 <br /> <br />Council has scheduled a meeting to attend the Lions Park Community Workshop on Monday, <br />October 12, 2020 at 7 p.m. This meeting will be held virtually. <br /> <br />N.3 Schedule Interviews for Fire Chief Position for Week of October 12, 2020 <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kevin Colvard will be resigning his position on the Fire Department effective January <br />1, 2021.
