This collector street will transverse the entire City, beginning at <br />Roanoke Street NW near the Rum River and' ending at Highway #10 near the Elk River border. <br />Because this roadway has been constructed in segments and because it transverses north and <br />south for a distance of about 1,700 feet to avoid wetlands, it has various names. (In addition to <br />153~d Avenue NW and 155t~, Avenue NW, some documents refer to the north/south segment <br />between Hematite Street NW and Ramsey Boulevard NW as Jasper Street NW). Public <br />comment was solicited last year through the Ramsey Resident on an appropriate uniform name <br />for the street and "Alpine Drive" was selected. Providing a uniform name will replace 'the <br />cumbersome "153ra Avenue NW/155th Avenue NW" designation and will 'eliminate confusion <br />thereby e~ancing the public welfare and .safety. The street name change will require new <br />addresses for 25 residential properties, Allina Medical Clinic, RamseY Pharmacy, and the Links <br />of Northfork Golf Course. The City of Coon Rapids recently had a similar name change <br />affecting business and residential addresses. To assist with implementation the City allowed <br />approximately one year before the name change became effective and notified all government <br />agencies and utilities of the change. <br /> <br />City Council/February 13, 2001 <br /> Page 5 of 27 <br /> <br />-55- <br /> <br /> <br />
