RESOLUTION NO. 76 -40
RESOLUTION ENDORSING HENNEPIN COUN'T'Y TRANSPORTATION
SYSTEM STUDY
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center has
reviewed the Draft Final Report of the Hennepin County Transportation
System Study prepared by Bather, Ringrose,Wolsfeld, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, the Draft Final Report is a guide for the future
roadway system under County jurisdiction and contains recommendations;
and
WHEREAS, the report indicates projected traffic volume increases
in Brooklyn Center of 52% and 31% for 63rd Avenue North and County Road
No. 10 respectively; and
WHEREAS, within the City of Brooklyn Center, the majorities of
63rd Avenue North and approximately 50% of County Road No. 10 are
located in single family residential areas; and
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center residents' share of costs
for maintaining and constructing county roads are estimated to be
greater than for maintaining and constructing trunk highways; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that it is necessary to
project future traffic demands based on current modes of transportation
for determining future roadway capacity problem areas, but feels the
County should more actively participate in encouraging and developing
innovative modes of transportation for decreasing the dependency of
automobiles as the basic mode of transportation; and
WHEREAS, the report indicates a dramatic increase in east -west
travel trips across the Mississippi River in the Brooklyn Center area,
but does not indicate the need of a pedestrian/bicycle bridge crossing
the Mississippi River in the area of F.I. 694.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Brooklyn Center that the City Council generally endorses the
Hennepin County Transportation System Study Draft Final Report subject
to conditions and comments qualified as follows:
1. Consideration and study should be given to reducing rather
than increasing the projected traffic volumes on 63rd Avenue
North and County Road No. 10 in the City of Brooklyn Center.
2. The jurisdiction of Trunk Highway No. 152 should remain
with the State Highway Department.
RESOLUTION NO. 76 -40
3. The jurisdictional change of a segment of County Road
No. 130 to the City of Brooklyn Center is endorsed
in concept only.
4. The County should more actively participate in encouraging
and developing innovative modes of transportation for
decreasing the dependency on automobiles as the basic
mode of transportation.
5. Consideration should be given to the future construction
of a pedestrian- bicycle bridge crossing the Mississippi-
River in the vicinity of F.I. 694 in coordination with

Department, City of Fridley, and the City of Brooklyn
Center.
