RESOLUTION REFERRING THE DULUTH STREET QUESTION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
WHEREAS, Duluth Street, from Winnetka to Mendelssohn, is designated on the
Golden Valley Comprehensive Plan as a collector street; and
WHEREAS, Duluth Street is constructed from Winnetka to Aquila and from
Ensign to Flag; and
WHEREAS, the Golden Valley City Council approved construction of a segment
of Duluth Street from Gettysburg to Independence; and
WHEREAS, the Gettysburg to Independence segment was approved, not to extend
a collector street, but to eliminate three dead-end streets and thereby improve
the circulation to vehicles including Public Safety and Maintenance vehicles; and
WHEREAS, in approving the Gettysburg to Independence segment, the Golden
Valley City Council denied approval to a proposal to construct Duluth Street
from Flag to Gettysburg and from Independence to Mendelssohn; and
WHEREAS, the segments of Duluth Street that presently remain unconstructed
are from Aquila to Ensign, Independence to Mendelssohn and Flag to Gettysberg; and
WHEREAS, the Council feels there exists a need to review the designation of
Duluth Street as a collector and review the justification for the construction
of the remaining portions of Duluth Street, it directs the Planning Commission
to consider among other things: the relation of 23rd and Plymouth, County plans
for the potential upgrading of Medicine Lake Road, future service to properties
which might be developed within the area, and other pertinent issues;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Golden Valley City Council requests
the Planning Commission to review and evaluate the present and potential status
of Duluth Street and the designation of Duluth Street in the Comprehensive Plan.
