RESOLUTION 91-63
WHEREAS, the Anoka County Regional Railroad Authority has developed
preliminary design plans for a northeast corridor Light Rail Transit system;
and,
WHEREAS, the Anoka County Regional Railroad Authority has made said
preliminary plans available for public inspection; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Columbia Heights' City Council held a Public
Hearing on October 15, 1991, to review the preliminary design plans; and,
WHEREAS, Light Rail Transit promotes a greater travel time
reliability because of its own right of way; and,
WHEREAS, Light Rail Transit will coordinate with a crosstown bus
feeder plan; and
WHEREAS, Light Rail Transit reduces the number of buses in downtown
Minneapolis and St. Paul;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Columbia Heights'
City Council approves the proposed route of the Light Rail Transit system;
however, the Council believes the plan should continue to review the need
for less long-term parking at the proposed stations at 40th, 44th, and 49th
Avenues and increase the long-term parking at the 37th Avenue and 53rd
Avenue stations. The purpose of this review would be to lessen the impact
on our residential area.
