PURPOSE OF MEETING
Mayor Nawrocki stated that the purpose of the meeting was to conduct a public
improvements hearing on 5th Street (37th to 4Oth Avenues) and 38th Avenue
(University to 5th Street).
INTRODUCTIONS
Mayor Nawrocki introduced Bob Owens and George Brown of the Engineering Department
and Millie Carlson and Ellen Prince of the Assessment Department who would be
available to answer any questions.
PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION
Bob Owens gave a slide presentation showing a map of the streets involved, the
type of surfacing to be used, and the restoration and clean up program. The
assessment procedure was explained.
Discussion followed on the width of the streets and current sidewalk conditions.
Mrs. Danelius, 3974 5th Street, asked about the problem of snow placement during
the winter if the boulevard width is cut.
Councilman Norberg questioned if this would take out the sidewalk which was put
in last year. Bob Owens answered that during last year's sidewalk replacement
program the installation of this street was not planned. Councilman Norberg
expressed his displeasure with the program.
Councilman Heintz asked about the possibility of restricting the parking of semi
trucks on 5th Street. Councilman Hentges stated that parking of all vehicles
would have to be restricted. Trucks alone cannot be prohibited because it is a
state aid street. Mayor Nawrocki asked that this item be put on the agenda of
the next Traffic Commission meeting and that the City Attorney be asked to look
into the subject and make his opinions known to the Traffic Commission
The City Manager read the following resolutions:
