RESOLUTION NO. 82 -50
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO INITIATE NEGOTIATIONS
FOR PURCHASE OF RIGHT OF WAY REQUIRED TO ALLOW REALIGNMENT
OF THE 69TH AVENUE SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY INTERSECTION
WHEREAS 69th Avenue North and Shingle Creek Parkway are both designated
as collector streets by the Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS the existing intersection of 69th Avenue North with Shingle
Creek Parkway is a T intersection controlled by all -way stop signs; and
WHEREAS forecasts of future traffic flow patterns indicate that the
heaviest volumes of traffic flow will occur on the westerly and southerly legs
of this intersection, thereby creating an inefficient traffic flow pattern
through this intersection and requiring the future installation of a traffic
control signal system at this location; and
WHEREAS the present alignment of 69th Avenue North at West Palmer Lake
Drive does not meet current design standards for collector streets; and
WHEREAS the City Engineer has developed a plan entitled "Realignment
of 69th Avenue North Between West Palmer Lake Drive and Shingle Creek Parkway
Alternate No. 2" which proposes the future realignment and construction of
69th Avenue North so as to provide for an improved geometric design at West
Palmer Lake Drive and for direct movement of the traffic between the major
(west and south) legs of the intersection and for "teeing in" the minor east
leg; and
WHEREAS the City Council has considered the proposed plan and has
determined that it offers the following benefits:
it provides the most efficient movement through the 69th Avenue
Shingle Creek Parkway intersection
it will substantially improve the safety of traffic movement through
this area
it will eliminate the need for installation of a traffic control
signal system at the 69th Avenue North Shingle Creek Parkway
intersection
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN
CENTER that:
1- "Realignment of 69th Avenue North between West Palmer Lake Drive and
Shingle Creek Parkway Alternate No. 2" is hereby approved as the
conceptual plan for future realignment of 69th Avenue through
this area.
2- The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to initiate nego-
tiations for the acquisition of property from those owners of the
privately -owned properties which will be required to provide right
of way for the realignment of 69th Avenue North as contemplated within
the conceptual plan. Such negotiations shall be conducted according
to Federal and State regulations regarding Relocation Assistance and
Real Property Acquisition.
