1 <br /> ' MEMORANDUM <br /> To: Mayor& Council <br /> Bill Wells, City Administrator <br /> From: Mike Gaffron, Asst. City Admin. - Long Term Strategy <br /> Date: May 11, 2009 <br /> Subject: Long Lake Chamber- � <br /> Attachments <br /> 1 - Emails from Terry Post and MPG response <br /> 2 - Segment Map <br /> The Long Lake/Orono Chamber of Commerce has requested"that the Long Lake city council <br /> consider changing the name of the current Old Highway 12/Wayzata Blvd./Cty Rd 112 to LONG <br /> LAKE PARKWAY as soon as possible". Their email request to Terry Post indicates the <br /> majority of the Chamber membership believes it is necessary to make this change at this time in <br /> order to avoid any more confusion as to what road to take to get into the Long Lake business <br /> area from the New Highway 12. They believe the only evidence needed to justify this change in <br /> name is the obvious confusion caused by the current 3 name reference. <br /> Post has indicated this name change would presumably affect the entire length of Wayzata <br /> Boulevard through Orono, from the entrance/exit ramps at the east end to the 6/12 interchange at <br /> the west end. The "Wayzata Boulevard" designation continues westward to the intersection with <br /> Baker Park Road at the east end of Maple Plain. Through Maple Plain and points west the road <br /> is designated as U.S. Highway 12. The west half-mile of Wayzata Boulevard is in Medina. <br /> Wayzata Boulevard lengths by abutting city: . <br /> Wayzata only: Approx. 0.1 mile <br /> Orono & Wayzata: Approx. 0.1 mile <br /> Long Lake only: Approx. 1.3 miles <br /> Orono & Long Lake: Approx. 1.1 miles <br /> Orono only: Approx. 2.7 miles <br /> Medina only: Approx. 0.5 miles <br /> Total Approx. 5.8 miles <br /> I have not done further research to determine, for instance, how many individual property <br /> addresses in each city would be affected. <br /> The name "Long Lake Parkway" is similar but not identical to other road names in the Orono - <br /> Long Lake area, which include: <br /> Old Long Lake Road <br /> East Long Lake Road <br /> Long Lake Boulevard <br /> Council Direction Requested <br /> Advise whether and/or how you wish staff to respond to this request. <br />
