Re.:_ .... .S..p..eed. Zon.!ng-.Anoka Count~ .......... <br /> County Roads 83, 56 & 57 (Armstrong Blvd., Ramsey Bird, & Sunfish Lake Blvd) <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Ward: <br /> <br />Commissioner Denn has asked me to respond to your January 27, I997 letter concerning speed <br />limits on the above referenced Anoka County roads within the City of P,a.msey~ Thank you for <br />bringing your concerns to our attention. <br /> <br />As you might be aware, existing speed limits for the three roads were authori2ed by the <br />Minnesota Deparunent of Transportation (Mn/DOT) and are based on the results of <br />engineering and traffic investigations. Our records indicate the existing speed limit <br />authorizations for all three roads were issued some time ago: in 1985 for Armstrong Blvd., in <br />1977 for Ramsey Blvd., and in 1975 for ~.nfish Lake Blvd. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />It is Mn/DOT's responsibility to establish speed limits on all roads within Minnesota, when <br />asked to do so by the road authority, in this instance Anoka Count-./. Given the length of time <br />since the roads were last studied, it seems possible that existing traffic conditions and <br />development along these roads have changed significantly since the existing '~i~d limits were <br />established. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />We have, therefore, forwarded a copy of your letter to Jane Pemble, Anoka County Traffic <br />Engineer. Anoka County will review the roads and request new speed zoning investigations if <br />they judge conditions W~rant doing so. <br /> <br />An equal opportunity employer <br /> <br />Post-It". brand ~ax transmitta.! msmo 7871 l' e'p"S..; ~-~ <br /> <br />Del~t.
