Title
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PERMANENT CLOSURE OF LINCOLN PARK DRIVE FROM JUST EAST OF THE MILLER CREEK BRIDGE AT 7TH STREET AND JUST WEST OF THE 10TH STREET BRIDGE OVERPASS TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.
Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper City Officials are hereby authorized to permanently close Lincoln Park Drive from just east of the Miller Creek bridge at 7th Street and just west of the 10th Street bridge overpass to vehicular traffic, as depicted in Exhibit 1 attached hereto.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the permanent closure of the upper end of Lincoln Park Drive to vehicular traffic. Neighborhood stakeholders and City staff support the closure of this segment of Lincoln Park Drive. This segment of Lincoln Park Drive has been on the “seasonal” closure list of streets that are not plowed in the winter. This resolution would allow for the prohibition of vehicle traffic on this portion of Lincoln Park Drive permanently. The closure will allow for enhanced pedestrian and bicycle use of the existing roadbed.
This past summer, a test period for the closure occurred. We received only one positive comment in support of the closure, and no negative feedback.
