<br />Blaino, Coon Rapids, Centerville, Lexington, Lino
<br />Lakos, Spring Lako Park, Circle Pines, Fridley,

<br />RESIDENT'S SUGGESTIONS
<br />ON ROAD NAMES REQUESTED
<br />At an April 1, 1993, mooting of tho Road and Bridge Committoe, one topic of discussion
<br />was how to alleviate confusion associatod with the namos of two collector streets serving
<br />the City. Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. is a new east/wost collector street which will eventually
<br />run from T.N. 1147, south of 149th Avenue N.W. to County Road 11116 near the Altron
<br />Company. Portions of this now street have boon constructed in the now Wood Pond Hills
<br />and Sunny Ponds subdivisions located south of City Hall along County Road 115. Obviously
<br />the name Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. is very similar to Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. (C.R.
<br />1157) which is also a major thoroughfare in the City. (See bold linos on the map below to
<br />show tho stroots for renaming.)
<br />A socond thoroughfare considered for renaming is 153rd/155th Avenues. Because of the
<br />importanco of this roadway, it would be less confusing for it to have a single descriptive name.
<br />Tho Road and Bridgo Committoe felt it would be worthwhile to obtain citizon input in
<br />considoring appropriate namos for those two roadways. Possiblo namos could be rolatod to
<br />Ramsoy's historic past, or to geographic or man-made features.
<br />If you have a suggestion, please stop by, call us at 427-1410 or return the form below to
<br />Ramsoy Municipal Building, 15153 Nowthon Blvd N.W. Ramsoy, MN 55303 by 5 p.m.
<br />Friday, Juno 25, 1993. The Road and Bridgo Commitleo will be roviowing those
<br />suggestions and making a rocommondation to tho City Council in July.
<br />1f now road namos are soloctod, tho City will need to hold a public hearing and pass an
<br />ordinanco dosignating tho change. Properties affoctod by an addross change will be
<br />notitiod by loltor.
