Resolution
The City Council requested that the Commissioner of Transportation
investigate and perform a speed study to determine a �'reasonable and
safe" speed on 145th Street West from Diamond Path to Chippendale
Avenue at its October 5, 1993 Council meeting.
MnDot has recently completed that speed study and has determined that
a "reasonable and safe" speed for that referenced street should be set
at 40 m.p.h. According to MnDot personnel the current traffic speed
and the lack of entrances onto this segmenti of 145th Street is the
reason that the speed was set at 40 m.p.h. As the area on the north
side of 145th Street, west of Shannon Parkway, and the area south of
145th Street, east of Shannon Parkway develops in the future, we ma.y
request a new speed study to be completed, which could possibly alter
this 40 m.p.h. speed limit.
It is staff' s recommendation that Council adopt a resolution to set
the speed limit as stipulated by MnDot.
