body
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) with information to consider Resolution 2014-75.
 
Background
City staff has been asked by a developer to consider changing the existing and proposed roadway classifications of 1st Avenue North, 3rd Avenue North, Bridge Street and North Margin Street from Major Collectors to Minor Arterials.  These roadways currently function as a by-pass to many commuters to avoid the traffic on Main Street.  In addition, these roadways provide connectivity between Franklin Road (SR 6/US31), 5th Ave (US 431) and Hwy 96 (SR 96).  Changing the classification of these roadways will not change our goal to accommodate existing and projected traffic demands while maintaining a safe and pedestrian friendly atmosphere.    
 
Financial Impact
Changing the existing and proposed roadway classifications of 1st Ave North, Bridge Street and North Margin Street will allow the City to utilize road impact fees to fund future improvements as approved by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
 
Recommendation
rec
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2014-75.
