TION Or Mn T'I ROAD 18
WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Highway Department has presented
a schedule of development and construction for a continuation of a
four lane divided highway on County Road 18 running in a northerly
direction from State Highway 55 to its intersection with Interstate
94 and,
WHEREAS, such schedule indicates that there is no immediate
scheduling for that portion of said County Road 18 lying between
the intersection formerly known as County Road 70 on the South and
County Road 9 on the North, consisting of 1.08 miles, and,
AREAS, other portions of said County Road 18 both South
of old County road 70 and North of County Road 9 are-ed,:1^d
for development and construction in the near future and,
THEREAS, the area between said old County Road 70 and
County Road 9 is an area of high priority in the Village of Plymouth
for the following reasons:
a. The area between said two county roads within the
village of Plymouth has received sanitary sewer
service and is now ready for extensive and con-
centrated development.
b. Independent School District No. 281 will be opening
an elementary school on 36th Avenue North and Pilgrim
Lane, a very short distance "lest of County Road 18 and
is planning the construction of a junior high school
just South of 36th Avenue North and just lett of County
Road 18 in the very near future.
c. U.N.-i,ietro Corporation is presently engaged in an
exclusive, high quality rezidential, ;,own house, multiple
dwelling and commercial shopping center development in
an area bounded on the South by 38th Avenue North, on
the North by County Road 9 and on the East by County
Road IS, which development is well under way and with
respect to which considerable land has been sold.
d. Other subdividers have planned residential subdivisions
in the area in question, are being serviced by both
sanitary sewer and centr^1 seater systems, making their
developments attractive to the public for purchase,.
e. The existence of a gap of two lane, undivided roadway
between old County Tva24 70 and County Road 9 at either
extremity of which is a four lane, divided roadway
can only result in additional problems of policing
and traffic control in this area.
f. Trunk Highway 55 is the next and most .readily accessible
road into the city of Minneapolis for large portions of
the population of the Village of Plymouth residing
North of said Trunk Highway 55, making County Road
18 a critical access route to said Trunk Highway 55.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL
OF THE VILLAGE OF PLYMOUTH:
1. That the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners
and the Hennepin County Highway 'Department are
urgently requested to reconsider the scheduling
of construction and development of the upgrading
of County Road 18 to include that portion of said
road lying between old ,County road 70 and County
Road 9, consistent with an orderly and progressive
development of said County Road 18 in a northerly
direction from State Highway 55.
That the elimination of said portion of County
Road IS on the immediate scheduling for develop-
ment and construction of said roadway could cause
great har&-ship, expense and inconvenience not only
y
to the Village of Plymouth but to residents
and ai:sinessmen of such village.
3. That the spirit of cooperation which has always
existed between the Village of Plymouth and the
County of I-ennepin should continue and that the
