REQUESTING Mn/DOT TO REPLACE MEDIAN FENCING ON CENTRAL
AVENUE
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
has installed and maintains a fence in the median of Central
Avenue (State Trunk Highway 65) from 48th Avenue to 51st
Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the primary purpose of this fence is to prevent
pedestrians, especially school children, from crossing this
busy highway at mid-block and direct them to the signalized
intersections with crosswalk and/or pedestrian bridges; and
WHEREAS, this fencing traps debris and requires a high level
of maintenance resulting in additional costs; and
WHEREAS, the current condition of the fencing would require
replacement in the near future; and
WHEREAS, there are alternate types of barriers, such as the
concrete jersey barrier, that can perform the same function
with less maintenance and that would trap less debris;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
Columbia Heights requests that Mn/DOT replace the existing
fencing with a suitable alternative barrier when funding and
time allows.
