RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE DESIGN FOR RIVERVIEW TERRACE
NORTH OF 79m WAY
WHEREAS, the current street width of Riverview Terrace is less
than the City' s established policy standard of 30 feet, and
WHEREAS, Anoka County has mandated the construction of an 8-foot-
wide bike path along that same street, and
WHEREAS, construction of the bike path along Riverview Terrace by
deploying current standards for the construction of new streets
would result in the need to significant increases to the width of
the street, and
WHEREAS, significant increases to the street width of the current
street would have an adverse effect on the environment, and
traffic patterns of the residents along Riverview Terrace, and
WHEREAS, the Engineering staff of the City recommends,
nevertheless, the utilization of the national standards, and
WHEREAS, that, after careful review of the facts and
circumstances herein, the City Council has determined that the
best interest of the City is to construct the street and bikeway
in a manner more consistent with the current configuration in the
neighborhood and not in accordance with the larger configuration
of the national standards, and
WHEREAS, while ordinary, prudent motorists or bike riders or
pedestrians should not be affected by the proposed construction,
it is nevertheless appropriate to post Riverview Terrace with
signage that would advise motorists and bikers and pedestrians
that the street is narrow and that greater caution should be
exercised than might otherwise be required for new street
construction.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the City Council of the City
of Fridley, Anoka County, Minnesota, as follows : the Engineering
Staff and Department of Public Works be directed by the City
Manager to design the proposed street and bikeway at Riverview
Terrace at an overall width of 20 feet face of curb to face of
