Title:
Adopt Resolution #25-185 Supporting State Highway 47/St. Francis Boulevard Improvements
Purpose/Background:
In 2023 a fatal accident occurred on State Hwy 47 just north of Alpine Dr. NW. The family of the deceased have advocated to MnDOT for, at a minimum, additional signage restricting drivers from conducting u-turns on the highway immediately following a center median where the accident occurred. The family is requesting the City of Ramsey support their requests to MnDOT in signage improvements. The attached letter of support and accompanying resolution express such support.
Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives:
The letter of support and resolution were drafted by the deceased family's attorney and reviewed by City Attorney Knaak. City Attorney Knaak has provided his legal review for approval. Mr. Knaak will be available to answer any questions regarding the City's responsibilities in supporting this request.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends supporting this request in an effort to advocate for safer roadways.
Outcome/Action:
Motion to adopt Resolution #25-185 and approve the accompanying letter of support for State Highway 47/St. Francis Boulevard improvements.
