RESOLUTION RELATING TO MNDOT STUDY OF I -94 BETWEEN BROOKLYN
BOULEVARD AND I -494
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) has
initiated a project development study relating to the improvement of Interstate
Highway 94 (I -94) between Brooklyn Boulevard in Brooklyn Center and I -494 in
Maple Grove; and
WHEREAS, heavy volumes of traffic entering and exiting from I -94 at the
Brooklyn Boulevard (CSAH 152) interchange create serious traffic congestion and
high accident problems, especially on Brooklyn Boulevard (CSAH 152) between 65th
and 69th Avenues North; and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the City Council that the project
development study for I -94 can and should include the development of design
alternatives which will resolve the congestion and high accident problems on
Brooklyn Boulevard; and that one possible alternative is the construction of an
interchange at I -94 and Zane Avenue in the City of Brooklyn Park.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that:
1. MNDOT is hereby requested to include into its project development
study for I -94 the development of design alternatives including the alternative
of constructing an interchange at the intersection of I -94 and Zane Avenue in
the City of Brooklyn Park which will resolve the congestion and high- accident
problem on Brooklyn Boulevard (CSAH 152) between 65th and 69th Avenues North.
2. the City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to forward this
request to MNDOT's Metropolitan area District Engineer, to the Hennepin County
Board of Commissioners, and to the Mayors of Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove, and
