RB CASE # ! <br /> <br />PETITION FROM 149TH AVENUE RESIDENTS REQUESTING THE <br />CONSTRUCTION OF A CUL-DE-SAC AT 149TH AND URANIUM <br /> By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey received a petition from residents of 19 properties in the 149th Avenue <br />neighborhood, west of Ramsey Boulevard, which requests the construction of a cul-de-sac at the <br />comer of Uranimite and 149th Avenue. Attached is both the petition and a map of the general <br />area. The City has no previous history of cul-de-sacing or dead ending streets for the purpose of <br />traffic reduction on speed controls, with the exception of the temporary closure of 171st Avenue <br />between Zeolite and Bison Street in August, 1996. <br /> <br />The Road and Bridge Committee began work on establishing a policy for addressing various <br />traffic calming in the fall of 1996. Concurrence was achieved on some elements by the <br />Committee, however, the policy has yet to be developed on geometric roadway modifications, <br />including the issue of street closure being requested by these petitioners. (See Case #3 of this <br />agenda.) <br /> <br />Ms. Trudy Matilla, representing the petitioners, requested an opportunity to discuss the issue <br />with the Road and Bridge Committee. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />No action is recommended. This discussion should be an opportunity for an exchange of views <br />with the goal of developing.a policy that will be effective on a City-wide basis. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />R&B: 08/12/97 <br /> <br />/jmt <br /> <br /> <br />
