SPEED STUDY
**ITEM 5.7.**
of Police ~
This department has been receiving speeding complaints on Jarvis
Street from Highway 10 to 165th Avenue. I am sure this is directly
related to the Northfork Addition and all the traffic that it
generates. Also, with the property the City purchased along 165th
Avenue for park use, this problem will only get worse.
I am, therefore, requesting that the Elk River City Council pass a
resolution to the Minnesota Department of Transportation requesting
a speed study. This speed study should be for Jarvis Street NW
from Highway 10 to 165th Avenue NW; and, 165th Avenue NW from
Highway 10 to Jarvis Street NW.
If you have any questions in regards to this request, give me a
call.
