RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE
CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK'S
ISTEA FUNDING APPLICATION
Proposed Action.
staff recommends adoption of the following motion: "Move to aptlrove
Resolution 94-31 supportinq a Federal ISTEA funding application by the
City of st. Louis Park for the development of the trail corridor alonq
the east side of TH 169 from County Road 3 to Minneapolis."
Overview.
The Cities of st. Louis Park and Hopkins have been working together
for a few years in an attempt to develop the trail corridor along the
east side of T.H. 169. This effort included a submittal of an ISTEA
funding application last year that unfortunately did not rank high
enough to obtain any funding. st. Louis Park is in the process of
revising the application for this years submittal of ISTEA projects,
and would like to include a resolution of support from the City of
4It Hopkins in their application.
Supporting this proj ect does not in any way commit the city to any
financial obligations. If funding is approved for this project, the
city would be able to review the project at that time to determine if
the minimal share that would be required by the City of Hopkins should
be spent on this project. staff therefore feels that the city has
nothing to lose on this matter and everything to gain, and should
therefore support st. Louis Park in their funding application.
