These property owners <br />are requesfingithe closure of 171st Avenue N.W. until such time that Bison Street N.W. is <br />improved and ~xtends into the Trott Brook Ridge subdivision. Attached for your review <br />are the materi4s that the City received with the petition requesting the closure of the road. <br />Although the p. efition itself does not present the purpose of the request, the accompanying <br />letter from Mrj Tim Dusbabek, one of the two petitioners, indicates traffic to be the issue. <br />This segment o~ street had a 1993 traffic volume of 85 vehicles per day. Although this may <br />be greater thari the petitioners might desire, it is not an unreasonable traffic level for a <br />residential street. Closure of the street will decrease the number of travel path opportunities <br />for the area. C~ty Staff recommends denial of this petition. <br /> <br />Council ActiOn: <br /> <br />Motion to adop~ Resolution acknowledging receipt of petition and denial of request. <br /> <br />/jmt <br /> <br />CC: 03/28/95 <br /> <br /> <br />
