BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Columbia Heights, that

Columbia Heights adjoining Central Avenue N.E. from 42nd to
45th Avenues NoE., will cause excessive volumes of turning
movement traffic, and

existance on Highway ~65, to allow for thru traffic lanes,
as well as a turning movement lane, that it is therefore de-
clared necessary and expedient to eliminate curb side parking
along the east side of Central Avenue from 42nd to 45th Avenues
N.E. at this time.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the State Highway Department be
authorized to proceed with appropriate striping and street
marking to establish two north bound travel lanes on the
easterly edge of Central Avenue adjoining the curb, and a
left turn only lane appropriately signed and painted beside
the existing island at the intersection of 43rd, 44th and 45th Avenues.
The Highway department is also authorized to close the existing
openings in the center divider strips between 42nd and 43rd; 43rd and :!.-~.
44th; 44th and 45th Avenues, where cross traffic is not essential.
This does not authorize the extension of the divider strips across
any of the existing arterial intersections,'
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Manager be authorized to
proceed with the curb painting and sign erection necessary in
order to remove the curb side parking along the east side of
Central Avenue from 42nd to 45th Avenues N.E.
