Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes temporary closure of 108th Avenue West from Becks Road to a point 300 feet north of the Dickson Street intersection. A traffic study will be conducted by city staff to determine future recommendations for permanent closure. It is recommended by the Fire Department Life Safety & Solid Waste Compliance Divisions and Public Works & Utilities Department that this portion of roadway be closed due to high amount of illegal activity and dumping. Cleanup efforts are time consuming and costly. Neighborhood stakeholders and city staff are in support of a temporary closure until traffic studies are completed.
