13-10813r RESOLUTION NO. 10813
RESOLUTION FOR PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON RICHFIELD PARKWAY
FROM 65TH STREET TO 63RD STREET
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield has previously completed improvements to
Richfield Parkway from the 66th Street roundabout to 65th Street; and
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield will be establishing the north connection of
Richfield Parkway from 250' North of 64th Street to Bloomington Avenue, roughly along
the 63rd Street alignment (State Project No. 157-370-002) in 2013; and
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield is planning to connect these two segments of
Richfield Parkway with similar improvements to the segment between 65th Street and
63rd Street in 2014; and
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield desires Richfield Parkway to be a multimodal
roadway that accommodates automobiles, transit, bicycles and pedestrians and have a
corresponding 25 mph design speed and posted speed; and
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield will be expending State Aid Funds and Local
Funds on the improvements on Richfield Parkway; and
WHEREAS, neither the existing roadway nor the planned 2014 improvements
provide adequate width for parking on both sides of the street while still accommodating
both vehicles and bicycles; approval of the proposed construction as a Municipal State
Aid street project must therefore be conditioned upon certain restrictions.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Richfield, Minnesota, that the City Council of the City of Richfield hereby bans
the parking of motor vehicles on Richfield Parkway, as described in the project limits
listed above:
Adopted this 9th day of July, 2013.
