<br />At an April 1, 1993, mooting of the Road and Bridge Committee, one topic of discussion
<br />was how to alleviate confusion associated with the names of two collector streets serving
<br />the City. Sunfish Lake Drive N.W. is a new east/west collector street which will eventually
<br />run from T.H. 1147, south of 1491h Avenue N.W. to County Road 11116 near the Altron
<br />Company. Portions of this new strool havo boon constructed in tho now Wood Pond Hills
<br />and Sunny Ponds subdivisions located south of City Hall along County Road 115. Obviously
<br />the name Sunfish Lako Drive N.W. is very similar to Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. (C.R.
<br />f157) which is also a major thoroughfare in the City. (See bold linos on the map below to
<br />show the streets for renaming.)
<br />A socond thoroughfare considorod for ronarning is 153rd/155th Avonuos. Bocauso of the
<br />importanco of this roadway, it would bo loss confusing for it to have a single descriptive namo.
<br />The Road and Bridge Commilloo bit it would be worthwhile to obtain citizen input in
<br />considoring appropriate namos for thoso two roadways. Possiblo names could be rotated to
<br />Ramsoy's historic past, or to geographic or man-made foaturos.
<br />If you have a suggestion, please stop by, call us at 427-1410 or return the form below to
<br />Ramsey Municipal Building, 15153 Nowthon Blvd N.W. Ramsoy, MN 55303 by 5 p.m.
<br />Friday, Juno 25, 1993. Tho Road and Dridgo Commiltoo will bo roviowing those
<br />suggostions and making a rocommendation to lho City Council in July.
<br />If new road names are soloctod, the City will need to hold a public hearing and pass an
<br />ordinanco dosignating lho chango. Properties affoctod by an addross change will be
<br />notifiod by lottor.
