Resolution No. 2023-140
Approving a Highway Safety Improvement Program Grant Application to the Minnesota
Department of Transportation for the Mississippi Street (CSAH 6) and Monroe Street
Intersection Project
Whereas, the City of Fridley (City) plans to reconstruct the intersection of Mississippi Street
(CSAH 6) and Monroe Street with a compact roundabout; and
Whereas, the proposed roundabout will improve traffic operations and reduce the number of
conflict points at the intersection; and
Whereas, the roundabout will increase pedestrian safety at the intersection by reducing
pedestrian crossing distance, encouraging slower vehicle speeds at the intersection, and
improving sight lines; and
Whereas, the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) provides up to $2,000,000 per
project for roadway construction and reconstruction projects designed to decrease the
frequency and/or severity of crashes; and
Whereas, a minimum local match of 10% of the total project cost is required; and
Whereas, City staff recommends application for funding through this program, and Anoka
County supports such an application including sharing local costs at an amount proportioned to
corridor improvements.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby:
1. Supports the proposed reconstruction of the Mississippi Street (CSAH 6) and Monroe
Street intersection; and
2. Supports the City’s pursuit of HSIP funding and authorizes staff to prepare and submit such
an application; and
3. Commits to funding the 10% local match as well as project elements not eligible for HSIP
funding; and
4. Commits to ensuring the project will comply with all HSIP funding requirements and
following the project schedule as presented in the application.
th
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Fridley this 27 day of November,
2023.
