REQUESTING HENNEPIN COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS TO
REQUEST THE COMMISSIONER OF THE MN/DOT TO
CONDUCT A SPEED ZONING STUDY
COUNTY ROAD 47 FROM COUNTY ROAD 101 TO COUNTY ROAD 61
WHEREAS, additional development adjacent to County Road 47 has occurred and more is
currently underway, which has increased traffic levels along this roadway; and
WHEREAS, it has been over six years since MnDOT has reviewed the existing speed limits
along County Road 47 from County Road 101 to County Road 61; and
WHEREAS, citizen requests have been received over the past few years to examine the
existing speed limit along County Road 47 due to the speed and volume of traffic and the
difficulty of accessing this roadway during peak periods; and
WHEREAS, residents currently use the trail system on the south side of County Road 47
between Annapolis Lane and County Road 61 and residents from the residential
neighborhoods to the north need to cross County Road 47 to access the trail; and
WHEREAS, the City is developing a neighborhood park with a trail system on the western
shore of Lake Camelot, with an entrance located south of Dallas Lane; and
WHEREAS, with the new trail construction for the park, the Three River's Park District will
be developing a regional trail to connect into the City trail system in the park, which will
encourage more pedestrians to use this roadway for recreational purposes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA: That the City request the Hennepin County
Department of Public Works to make a request to the Commissioner of the Minnesota
