Member Moberg introduced the following resolution and MOVED its adoption:
BE IT
RESOLUTION
(Council Policy Position on I-3910
1. Golden Valley is presently divided by three major highways;
2. New Major highway construction is certain to impose severe
hardship upon the community during the period of construction
and may have the long-range effect of permanently increasing
noise, air and visual pollution;
3. The need for new super -highways cannot be accurately pro-
jected into the future because of uncertainties relating to
fuel availability, vehicle availability and design, and the
impact of proposed mass transit facilities;
4. The Village of Golden Valley has repeatedly tried to cooperate
with the Minnesota State Highway Department and its planners
in developing a plan for upgrading Highway 12 that would not
have long-term harmful impact on Golden Valley;
5. The Highway Department has been unable or unwilling to produce
a design for upgrading Highway 12 that would not have a
harmful long-range impact on Golden Valley;
RESOLVED THAT
1. The design concepts for I-394 heretofore proposed by the
Highway Department are unacceptable to Golden Valley;
2. The need for construction of I-39111 regardless of design
concept, has not been convincingly demonstrated; therefore
the Village of Golden Valley opposes the designation of any
corridor for 1-394 touching on Golden Valley;
3. The Village of Golden Valley opposes further freeway con-
struction until an overall transportation system for the
western suburban area is designed;
4. The Village of Golden Valley will continue to welcome pro-
posals for an overall transportation system that would not
have a harmful long-term impact on Golden Valley.
