DRAFT HENNEPIN COUNTY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS PLAN
WHEREAS, Hennepin County has submitted for review and comment a draft of the

management policies which are intended to promote measures that can be used to enhance a
roadway's safety and its ability to move vehicular traffic through the management and control of
access points to and from roadways;

proposed by Hennepin County are not realistic for a first -ring fully developed community like St.

for urban areas will make it very difficult for redevelopment activities to occur, even though
redevelopment activities would likely improve existing access situations.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St Louis
Park that Hennepin County reevaluate it's access management guidelines for fully developed
areas and consider relaxing these guidelines or provide a mechanism by which these guidelines
