A RESOLUTION directing the Planning Commission to study and
recommend east-west corridors
WHEREAS, the Burlington Northern Railroad yard physically and

viewed as the opportunity to improve east-west movement of traffic with
one or more grade-separated crossings of the Burlington Northern Railroad
yard, and

so as to identify the advantages and disadvantages of each and ultimately
determine the preferred options, NOW, THEREFORE,

That the Planning Commission is hereby directed to study the various
east-west corridor options and, after sufficient public hearing, to report
to the City Council the Commission's findings and conclusions as to each
