<br />. <br /> <br />ELK RIVER HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY <br /> <br />TO: HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY <br />FROM: WILLIAM RUSIN, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATtfV~ <br />DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 1993 <br />SUBJECT: AGENDA MEMO FOR SEPTEMBER 7TH HRA MEETING <br /> <br />5. Jackson Square Parking Lot Improvements <br /> <br />At the HRA's August 12th meeting, Commissioners reviewed <br />several illustrations concerning improvements to the <br />Jackson Square parking lot. By way of HRA action, these <br />illustrations were referred to the Elk River Downtown <br />Development Corporation for review and comment. The <br />Development Corporation met on Wednesday, September I, <br />1993, to review.. the parking improvement concepts. <br />Enclosed in the agenda packet is the concept the <br />Development Corporation recommends. It is a hybrid design <br />that the group came up with at the meeting. The group <br />took Concept No. 3 (attached) and revised it with the <br />following: <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />- Parallel parking on the east side of Jackson Place <br />- Angled parking on the west side of Jackson Place <br />- The creation of a right turn only bulb from Jackson <br />Place to U.S. Highway 10 (Jackson Place continues as <br />a one-way,northbound street) <br />Additional stalls are created in the parking area <br />near Highway 10 by way of the right turn only bulb <br />The balance of the. parking stalls in the lot are <br />angled <br />- Movement with the lot is counter-clockwise; a vehicle <br />enters or exits onto Jackson Place from Main Street; <br />vehicles may exit onto Highway 10, or, may exit onto <br />Jackson Avenue (that is, "exit only") <br /> <br />This design retains the flag pole and evergreens in the <br />middle of the lot. <br /> <br />Action Requested <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />In order to keep the improvement project on schedule, the <br />HRA is asked to finalize this proposal and forward a <br />recommendation on to the City Council for implementation. <br />The rationale here is that the parking lot is owned by the <br />City, but it will rely on the HRA to fund the <br />improvements. Therefore, the City Council should have the <br />final decision on the proposed improvements to Jackson <br />Square. <br /> <br />P.O.
