RESOLUTION NO. 90 -153
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO.
1989 -22, ON 73RD AVENUE NORTH FROM HUMBOLDT AVENUE TO
T.H. 252, AND PROPOSING COST SHARING AGREEMENT TO THE
CITY OF BROOKLYN PARK
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the Brooklyn Center City Council that
construction and maintenance of a sidewalk on one side of 73rd Avenue North
between Humboldt Avenue and T.H. 252 is necessary for the protection of the
public safety; and
WHEREAS, the centerline of 73rd Avenue in this area forms the
boundary between Brooklyn Center on the south and Brooklyn Park on the north;
and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the Brooklyn Center City Council that
the sidewalk should be constructed on the north (Brooklyn Park) side of 73rd
Avenue for the following reasons:
o a sidewalk is already in place on the north side from T.H. 252 to
Aldrich Avenue
o examination of this route shows there are fewer obstructions (trees,
utilities, etc.) along the north side than along the south side
o analysis of the survey of residents results shows stronger support for a
sidewalk on the north side than for one on the south side
o experience shows that a sidewalk on the north side of any street has
substantially less problems with slipperiness during winter months than
a sidewalk on thg south side of a street, because sidewalks on the south
side are shaded by trees, houses, etc.; while sidewalks on the north
side receive full sunlight, and are sloped toward the sun
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that:
1. The City of Brooklyn Center hereby requests the City of Brooklyn
Park to construct a sidewalk on the north side of 73rd Avenue.
2. If the City of Brooklyn Park agrees to assume full responsibility
for all future operations, maintenance and replacement costs, the
City of Brooklyn Center will agree to reimburse Brooklyn Park for
the initial cost for sidewalk construction, not to exceed $35,000.
