its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 99-57
RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HENNEPIN COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION AND THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO
INSTALL A TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAL SYSTEM ON CSAH (BROOKLYN
BOULEVARD) AT THE TH 100 SOUTH RAMP TERMINAL
WHEREAS, pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 89-194, the Hennepin County
Department of Transportation (HCDOT) reviewed the existing conditions and several problems
relating to CSAH 152 (Brooklyn Boulevard) between 49th Avenue North and TH 100 and in 1990
reported to the City that:
installation of a traffic control system at the intersection of CSAH 152 (Brooklyn Boulevard)
with 51st Avenue North was warranted by then-existing traffic volumes; and that
• then-existing traffic volumes at the intersection of CSAH 152 (Brooklyn Boulevard) with the
south ramp terminal at the TH 100 interchange did not warrant installation of a traffic
control signal system at that intersection; but that
• if the existing OFF ramp for northbound traffic at 50th Avenue was closed, as currently
proposed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) in conjunction with
their plans for the future upgrading of TH 100, then the resulting diversion of traffic to the
TH 100/Brooklyn Boulevard interchange would increase the volume of traffic using the
intersection of CSAH 152 with the south ramp terminal to a level which would warrant the
installation of a traffic control signal system at that intersection.
AND WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed these findings in December, 1990 and
chose not to pursue improvements at that time; and
WHEREAS, residents in the neighborhood between TH 100 and Brooklyn Boulevard
have requested the City Council and Mn/DOT to close the ON and OFF ramps from northbound
TH 100 as soon as possible; and
WHEREAS, the City Council supports the closing of the ON and OFF ramps for
northbound traffic at 50th Avenue, as soon as possible, if a traffic signal system is concurrently
installed at the intersection of CSAH 152 (Brooklyn Boulevard) with the south ramp terminal from
TH 100.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota that:
Resolution No. 99-57
1
1. Mn/DOT is requested to develop plans for closing the ON and OFF ramps
for northbound traffic at 50th Avenue North and to proceed with these
changes as soon as possible, contingent on item #2 below.
2. Mn/DOT and HCDOT are requested to proceed with installation of a traffic
control system at the intersection of CSAH 152 with the south ramp terminal
for TH 100, such installation to be complete before the ramps at 50th Avenue
are closed, based on a cooperative agreement between Mn/DOT and HCDOT
to be developed for this improvement.
