At the time these widths were designated the city council indicated that- vela-ting parking bans would be imposed at a later date. 73rd Street The council members will recall that at the city council meeting of July 8, 1974, the city council :passed a resolution>indicating that the City of Rich- field was desirous of having 73rd Street constructed to a width of 36 'feet in lieu of the:: standard 44 feet normally required under the municipal state aid program.- In addition, the city council indicated in that resolution that the city would prohibit-parking. on one side of the street.. The city staff reviewed 73rd Street and recommends that. parking be restricted on the south side of-73rd Street between Portland Avenue and I,~ndale Avenueo This recommendation is based on the fact that the residents who attended an information meeting on February 6, 1975 indicated that because of the apart- ment .houses:: on the north side .of the street near Portland and because many ref the avenues between Lyndale and Nicollet Avenue north of 73rd have park- ing restrictions,. they would request that the parking be restricted on the south aide of 73rd Street. A petition requesting that the parking be prohibited on the south side of 73rd Street was presented. and a copy is attacheel hereto. On August 12, 1974 the city council reviewed the staff°s recommendation and deferred action until a later date. The city council requested that the staff contact the Minnescyta Highway Department to see if the parking ban was a requirement of receiving state aide funds o Trie director of public works met ~~ ~ with the district state aid engineer.-and eoniircned that the parking ban is a requirement for receiving state aid funds e Council Letter No. 49 -2~ February 10, 1975 Ares®lutian has been prepared prohxhiing parl~in'g on the south_,,,, side:of 73rd Street and it Ys; rec`o~nmended that it be ad©pted and. forwarded`to the ' State Highway Department for approval of this project for state aid reirn- bursemen~ a East Pleasant Avenue On November 12, 1973 aloe. city council, considered alternate widths-.for. the. paving of East Pleasant Avenue between 66th Street and 74th Street and East Pleasant Avenue between 66th Street and the north city .limits, The-city council took the following actions: On East Pleasant Avenue between 66th Street and 74th Street..- thsa= portion of Pleasant :Avenue-- ~~as, ~_ constructed to a width of T8 feet' with the understanding that parking would be banned from both sides of the street upon completion of the worko This action was taken to avoid the loss of additional boulevard space adjacent to the existingproperty owners and_the trees located on this .boulevard o The action taken by the city council concurred with the desires of'the'residents attending the public hearing and information meeting. It is recommended that thee: city countapprove the attached resolution prohibiting'` parkinc~_on both si es of East Pleasant Avenue between 6th Street and 74th.

This action was taken so that sufficient boulevard area would , remain for the installation of sidewalk in front of the apartment complexes along this portion of East Pleasant Avenue . Since the compietion of the perananent 'street paving program on this portion: of East Pleasant Avenue the city has experienced difficulty in snow removal operations and we are in receipt of a request from the Assistant Fire Chief to have the: matter of the parking bans drought to the attention of the city council since the fire department is concerned about access of fire and rescue equipment in this area. We have attached a copy of the assistant fire' chief° s memo to this letter. In addition, we have received a petition from residents living. in the apartment dwellings along this portion of Pleasant Avenue requesting that Pleasant Avenue-between 66th and 63rd Street be 'made a one-way street and parking banned only froth one side of the street.

At several public hearings- the city council weighed the merits of constructing a 44 foot wide street with no parking restrictions versus constructing'a 36 #oot wide. street with parking limitations. As a result of these deliberations the`city council. passed the following resolutions designating street .widths. and parking restrictions: 1. Res©lution No, 5128 ordering 67th Street from Portland to Nicollet, lst Avenue frorri 65th to 67th to be constructed at a 36 foot wide width' with parking banned on one side of the improved street. 2 o Rese~lution No. 5124 ordering 70th Street to be constructed to a width of 36 feet from Portland to Lyndale Avenue with pa rking to be banned on both- sides of the street. Because of the considerable time that has elapsed between the date these res'c~lutLOns were passed and the completion of the street improvement work, the staff f~1t it was appropriate to brim the matter to the attention of thecity council.

Aik Gr®ve L racd o ~~ ~: It is recommended that Oal~ Grove Boulevard be installed to a width of 32-:feet in lieu of t;h.e standard 36 feet, At a meeting with residents t ~. on February 6, 1975 the alternate widths were discussed with the residents of Oal~ Grove Boulevard and it was the general consensus , . ~~ that this width was acceptable to the residents since this width ~ ~~~ would result in the removal of approximately six trees. However, the residents of Oak Grove Bc~uleva~d d~,d inc~ieate their desire ~ to regain their existing street lighting system. 2, West PleasantAven~xeo It is recommended that this street be installed at a width' of 18 feet north of 70th Street with. parj~ng prohibited from both sides of the 1E. street and approximately 22 feet south of 72nd `:Street because `of ~~ the narrow right-of-xNay available for street construction. The alter- native widths were discussed=with ,the residents on West Pleasant Avenue at a aneeting of ,February 6, 1975 and it was their recommendation that the street be installed to these widths. 3 . 70 h Street between, Humboldt:Avenue a dPenn venue r • `; '~ 70th Street between Humboldt Avenue and. Penn Avenue is a state aid street and. it is necessary for the city to install either a 44 foot wide street or a 36 feot wide street with parking restricted on one `side. A meeting with the residents was. held on February 6, 1975 to discuss. the ~~ two alternatives and it was pointed out. by the city staff. that. because of the existing. banks and close approximation to the property., line of the residents along this portion of\7.Oth Street, it was recommended that 70th Street be constructed to a width of 36 feet and parking be banned from. one side of 70th Street. 4-, 77th.

The options available to the city were discussed with the owners affected by this construction width at a meeting on February 6 and they concur in the city's recommendationo Council Letter No 0 34 5 . 77 1/2 Street from ~dlfa~ Avenue to F,yndale Avenue o This street is also a part of the city s state aid system and should be constructed ,to a width of. 44 fEet cr 36 feet with parking restrictions on one side. ..Since the cearnmercial-establishnnents adjacent to 77 1/2 Street already us,~ the e~istir~g b~5ttlevards for parking and since the concrete cur3~ and gutter fc~x a ~6 foot wide street has been. installed ' by the developer, it is our recommendation that tk~l.s street be installed to a width of 36 feet and parking be restricted to one side. This matter was discussed with owners adyacent to the street- at a meeting. on February 6, 197~i a ;. Furthermore, -since 78th Street from Portland Avenue to .Pleasant Avenue and: the west service drive of 35~hF (Hurrbc~ldt Ave?~ue) 'from 75th to 69th .Street are under the jurisdiction of th~* Minnesota Highway Department, it is recommended-that these. streets be deleted from the "I.975~paving project. `' If these streets are deleted from the 19.7 project the staff ~niill start negotiations `pith the Minnesota State Highway Department to determine if the state wil). bear the cost of ianproveenents to these streets o It is recommended that the city council approve the plans and specifications for City Project Novo: 66.7 (1975- permanent street improvement) subject to the street :widths recommended above and that the city staff be authorized to call for bids on this project in two parts.
