RESOLUTION NO. 2017-79
SUPPORTING HENNEPIN COUNTY'S EFFORTS SEEKING APPROVAL FOR
A FUNCTIONAL CLASS UPGRADE OF COUNTY ROAD 158 TO PROVIDE
ELIGIBILITY FOR REGIONAL SOLICITATION FUNDING IN 2018
WHEREAS, the existing County Road 158 Bridge over Canadian Pacific Rail is structurally deficient, including
weight restrictions, and has reached the end of its useful life. Additionally, the segment of County Road 158 between
West 53rd Avenue and Trunk Highway 100 has been identified as a future capital need by Hennepin County staff; and
WHEREAS, the roadway segment lacks adequate bicycle and pedestrian accommodations and the City of Edina
has shown interest in modifying the surrounding land use (through the recent Grandview District Transportation Study)
which will impact the use of County Road 158; and
WHEREAS, Hennepin County is seeking a functional class upgrade for County Road 158 from Trunk Highway
62 to Trunk Highway 100 from Metropolitan Council from a status of B-Minor Arterial status to A-Minor Arterial status
to provide eligibility for Regional Solicitation funding in 2018; and
WHEREAS, this functional classification upgrade would not affect County Road 158 in terms of operation or
access; and
WHEREAS, at this time, Hennepin County has not allocated any capital funding towards improvements along
County Road 158 within its Board Approved 2017-2021 Transportation CIP; and
WHEREAS, Hennepin County will work directly with City of Edina staff in developing preferred concepts once
funding has been allocated in the county's capital budget.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the Ci of Edina, Minnesota that the City
supports Hennepin County's efforts in seeking approval for a functional class upgrade f County Road 158 from the
Metropolitan Council to provide eligibility for Regional Solicitation funding in 201 .
Adopted this 15th day of August, 2017.
