Public Hearing - Signatures in Support of Proposed Solution

Home

Dear Ramsey Resident: A possible solution to the truck traffic problem along 153rd Avenue has been reached. Both the Burlington Railroad and the Minnesota Department of Transportation have already tenatively approved this solution. The Ramsey City Council will consider this matter at a special public hearing on Wednesday, August 19th at the Ramsey City Hall. YOUR ATTENDANCE AT THIS MEETING CANNOT BE T00 STRONGLY URGED. The possible solution is as follows: 1. A permanent public railroad crossing would be established at the old "Dayton Crossing" location. This would be in the area adjoining North Fork"s red brick sales office along Highway 10. 2. A temporary crossing onto Highway 10 would be established just north of the Minnesota Department of Transportation's Weigh: Station also in the area adjoining North Fork's red brick sales office. 3. A permanent crossing onto Highway 10 would be established somewhat further north in the vicincity of Wuorio's Truck Service. 4. Truck traffic would be diverted off of 153rd Avenue and directed through the permanent railroad crossing and temporary highway crossing (Numbers 1 and 2 above) as soon as necessary approvals are processed and the crossing built. Hopefully this would be completed before school starts this fall. 5. The permanent crossing onto Highway 10 would be built presumably in 1988. 6. To accomplish the above the City of Ramsey must agree to close the railroad crossing at Puma Street and to build the road access and permanent crossing onto Highway 10 (Number 3 above). These matters will be discussed at the public hearing. A map has been included showing the approximate locations of the railroad crossing and highway accesses. If you have any questions about any of the above matters please contact the people indicated below.
