Rescind truck prohibitions on
Vernon Avenue and 27th Street
Resolution No. 5921
Whereas, the city approved truck prohibition signage on Vernon Avenue from 185 ft
north of Minnetonka Boulevard to 27th Street W (northbound only) and on 27th Street W from
Utica Avenue to Vernon Avenue (westbound only) per Resolution No. 5921 in 1977 to address
truck traffic accessing local streets from Highway 100; and
Whereas, the reconstruction of Highway 100 in 2016 changed the connections between
Highway 100 and the local street networks; and
Whereas, the changes in the geometrics of the roadways and adjacent land use have
rendered these restrictions obsolete; and
Whereas, these streets do not have unique characteristics that make them different from
parallel streets in the neighborhood that do not have truck restrictions; and
Whereas, removing the restrictions will allow trucks that have business in the area to
legally drive on the street; and
Now therefore be it resolved by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota
that the engineering director is authorized to:
1. Rescind Resolution No. 5921
