August 7, 1972
Member Hoover introduced the following resolution and MOVER its adoption:
RESOLUTION
(Proposed Pedestrian Bridge Across U.S. Highway 12)
WHEREAS, it appears to the Village Council of the Village Of Golden Valley
that there are increasing traffic volumes being experienced on U.S. 12 within
the Village, as the same traverses through that area of Golden Valley known as
North Tyrol Hills and South Tyrol Hills; and
`REAS, due to said ever increasing traffic volume the number of gaps
between the traffic is decreasing on a proportionate basis; and
WHEREAS, there are a large number of school age children residing on both
sides of said U.S. Highway No. 12, and said school age children are finding it
increasingly more difficult to commute between South Tyrol Hills and North
Tyrol Hills as result of said increasing traffic; and
WHEREAS, during after school hours, and vacation periods, when students have
no busing facility for use in going from South Tyrol Hills to the Golden Valley
Schools located North of U.S. Highway No. 12, said students are finding it virt-
ually impossible to get to and from the schools for necessary activities,
particularly during peak traffic periods;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of the Village of
Golden Valley that it hereby petitions and requests the State Highway
Department for the State of Minnesota to design, estimate and prepare a
proposed construction agreement for a pedestrian bridge across U.S. Highway 12
within the Village of Golden Valley at the approximate intersection of said
U.S. Highway No. 12 with Tyrol Trail.
