RESOLUTION NO. 93 -157
RESOLUTION APPROVING INSTALLATION OF SPEED HUMPS ON UNITY AVENUE,
ACCEPTING PROPOSALS, AND ALLOCATING FUNDS THEREFOR
WHEREAS, the Administrative Traffic Committee has received a number
of complaints from residents of Unity Avenue between 69th and 73rd as to
volume and speed of traffic on their street; and
WHEREAS, radar surveys indicate that there is a problem with
speeding, made more serious because of the curvilinear and winding nature of
the roadway; and
WHEREAS, the Administrative Traffic Committee recommends the
installation of three speed humps at various locations on Unity Avenue on a
trial basis for a period of two years, to determine their effectiveness at
reducing speeds; and
WHEREAS, the Mallard Creek Homeowners' Associations and a
representative of the company managing the Ponds complex concur with this
recommendation; and
WHEREAS, three firms were invited to submit proposals, and one
proposal in the amount of $3,525 was received from Master Asphalt of Maple
Grove, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the proposal received is less than the Engineer's estimate
of $4,500.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that:
1. Installation of speed humps at three locations on Unity Avenue is
hereby approved, on a trial basis for a minimum period of two years.
2. The proposal as submitted by Master Asphalt of Maple Grove, Minnesota
is hereby accepted, and the Mayor and City Manager are hereby
authorized and directed to enter into a contract in the amount of
$3,525 with Master Asphalt in the name of the City of Brooklyn
Center.
3. All costs associated with this improvement, including the cost of
signage and pavement markings, estimated at $500, shall be funded
from the Unrestricted Local State Aid Account No. 2900.
