ATTEST:
RESOLUTION REQUESTING Mn/DOT TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO
T.H. 252 WITHIN THE CITIES OF BROOKLYN CENTER AND BROOKLYN
PARK
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center is concerned about
congestion on T.H. 252 which causes north -south traffic to use paralleling roadways such as
West River Road and Humboldt Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center and the Northeast
Transportation Corridor Task Force believes that an additional third lane, in addition to the
existing bus lane, for both northbound and southbound T.H. 252 through Brooklyn Park will
increase the capacity of the roadway to minimize the impacts upon parelleling roads; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center feels that
acceleration/deceleration lanes at all intersections within the City of Brooklyn Park and the City
of Brooklyn Center should be redesigned so that traffic can access and leave T.H. 252 in the
most efficient manner.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that it hereby requests the following from the Minnesota Department of
Transportation:
1. That an additional third lane, in addition to the existing bus lane, be added
for both northbound and southbound T.H. 252 within Brooklyn Park.
2. Metering lights be installed on the northeast side of T.H. 610 bridge.
3. That the interchanges within Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center along
T.H. 252 be redesigned to include both acceleration and deceleration
lanes.
