Sands,Interim City Manager � <br /> Bruce A. McNabb, Director of Public Works � <br /> Matthew C. Newell, Traf�ic Engineer <br /> SUBJECT: Permanent Closure of Union Street South of Main Street <br /> Attached is a resolution authorizing the permanent closure of Union Street south of Main <br /> Street. On temporary Police Department authorization, a fence was erected to close this street <br /> adjacent to the West Main Liquor store. <br /> The temporary closure was installed at the request and consent of St. Paul's School, West <br /> Main Liquor and area businesses who were concerned with the crime and vandalism occurring to <br /> their property largely stemming from patrons of the West Main Liquor store. This behavior has <br /> been significantly reduced since the fence's installation. <br /> Letters of support from St Paul's Lutheran School, West Main Liquor, and other area <br /> businesses were provided in the August Traffic and Parking Commission packet. The Traffic and <br /> Parking Commission has recommended the permanent closure of Union Street adjacent to the <br /> West Main Liquor store. <br /> The proposed permanent closure of this alley will consist of the fence that is currently in <br /> place with the addition of some reflective signs. The e�sting trai�ic barriers may be removed <br /> once signs have been installed on the fence. <br /> Staff will be present to answer any questions the Council may have. <br />
