City of Ramsey <br /> <br />15153NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W.,RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 · (612) 427-1418 <br /> <br />August 2, 1991 <br /> <br />M.r. Greg Smith <br />15250 Iguana Street N.W. <br />Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Smith: <br /> <br />Recently you contacted me regarding the final extension of 153rd Avenue N.W. You had asked <br />the question whether or not it was proposed that this final leg would be constructed between <br />Variolite Street N.W. and Armstrong Boulevard N.W. After our phone conversation, I researched <br />the issue somewhat and found that this roadway extension has been contemplated for some period <br />of time. Therefore, I have addressed the attached memorandum to the Ramsey City Council for <br />their information and have it enclosed, herein, for your edification as well. <br /> <br />Certainly, it is the case that this roadway extension has been in the minds of City Council persons <br />for quite some time. It also appears to me that completion of this east/west route through the <br />community or a similar east/west route is in the best interest of the community as a whole, l <br />mention this because completion of Count), Road #116 would achieve a somewhat similar result as <br />that provided by 153rd Avenue N.W. However, in that #l ]6 is a Count.,,, road, it would require <br />approval and funding by Anoka County, wherein 153rd Avenue N.W. is being constructed as a <br />Municipal State Aid roadway to which I believe the funding is already available. Uhimately, it has <br />been the goal of the City for quite some time to realize the completion of both 1 >:~rd Avenue N.~. <br />and Count3, Road #116. <br /> <br />I can appreciate .',,our concern for increased traffic th.rough 3'our neighborhood upon completion of <br />this east/west collector. Further, I would be happy to work with you on any suggestions that you <br />have to mitigate an,,, negative impacts. However. having now spent some ti'me contemplating this <br />roadway, I am currentlv of the opinion that it should be completed as contemplated within <br />Ramsev's Comprehensive Plan. You will note within the attached rnemorandum, however, that <br />completion of this roadway is something which will be addressed within the next couple of months <br />during budget deliberations. Therefore, l would suggest that it would be timely for vou to contact <br />Councilmembers in order to have ,,,our concerns heard. <br /> <br />I appreciate ),our input on this or an,,' other issue which you see impacts you or the community of <br />Ramsev. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />----Rvan R. Schroefer <br /> City Administrator <br /> <br />RRS/jmt <br /> <br />Enclosure <br /> <br /> <br />
