Heintz, Norberg, Hentges, Nawrocki--present
Logacz--absent
Councilman Logacz arrived at the meeting at 8:10 pm.
2. Purpose of the Public Hearing.
The purpose of the public hearing is to consider placing certain streets in
the City of Columbia Heights on the Municipal State-Aid System, and to hear
from residents living on said streets concerning such action.
The streets.being considered are:
a. 53rd Avenue from Central Avenue to University Avenue
b. Extension of Reservoir Boulevard from 44th Avenue to 46th Avenue
c. 46th Avenue from the above extension to Fillmore Street
d. Fillmore S:reet from 46th Avenue to 47th Avenue
The last three items ( b,c,and d ) all deal with one area. The City Manager
spoke to these three. He also mentioned a letter received from Mr. Thomas
Paul, Administrator for Crestview Nursing Home. This letter stated that Crest-
view supports the designation of Reservoir Boulevard as a state aid street.
The City Manager advised the Council that all residents who would be effected
by these change in designation were notified of this public hearing by mail.
The Public Works Director reviewed, with maps and graphs, the present state
aid system we have in the City and the proposed additions to that system. He
further explained what constitutes a state aid street; why these streets are
being recommended to be included in that system; and, the total mileage that
will be left after these streets are added.
The Public Works Director then addressed item (a) dealing with 53rd Avenue.
This street was turned back to the cities of Columbia Heights and Fridley in
April of 1980. Traffic volume has shown a dramatic increase on this street and
the surface of the street is showing considerable wear. It will soon be ne-
eding repair. It was noted that the City of Fridley has already requested
that 53rd Avenue be considered for state aid designation by the Minnesota
Highway Department.
Councilman Heintz inquired why the State turned this avenue back to the cities
of Columbia Heights and Fridley. He was advised that was part of the original
agreement with the State.
Motion by Heintz, second by Norberg to waive the reading of the resolution there
being ample copies available to the public. Roll call: All ayes
