Memo to the Mayor and City Council/193rd Closure <br /> August 18, 1997 <br /> Page 2 <br /> • Therefore, the best long term transportation pattern would to be encourage <br /> the use of Proctor Avenue south to County Road No. 1 where signalization is <br /> ultimately planned. <br /> Pedestrian Trail <br /> Attached are two plans identifying the pedestrian system within about a mile <br /> radius of the 193rd Avenue corridor. Also, an attached plan shows the detail <br /> of how 193rd Avenue could be converted to a trail corridor between Proctor <br /> and the main city trail which divides the Lafayette Woods development and <br /> Meadowvale Elementary School. <br /> The utility improvements to serve Cherrywood Hills subdivision will most <br /> likely involve the extension of sanitary sewer west of the plat to the main <br /> trunk line located within the city's main trail (i.e., old abandoned railroad <br /> right-of-way). The Lafayette Woods development may also have to use a <br /> portion of 193rd for storm sewer improvements. Given these two utility <br /> improvements within 193rd, it seems appropriate the restoration work after <br /> the utilities are installed include the construction of a bituminous trail and <br /> adequate seeding and/or sodding in place of the current roadway. This would <br /> probably be the most appropriate time to officially close 193rd to through <br /> • traffic. Some type of treatment at the intersection of 193rd and Proctor will <br /> need to be completed to clearly identify the road being closed to vehicle <br /> traffic. This treatment may include some earth berming along with some <br /> planting to clearly identify the closure of the street to through traffic. <br /> Recommendation <br /> It is recommended the City Council approve Resolution No. 97-_, closing <br /> 193rd Avenue between Proctor Avenue and County Road No. 1 to through <br /> traffic. <br /> • <br /> \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\council\193close.doc <br />
