proposed High Point Road extension, improvement of County Trunk Highway M and PD and Mid-Town Road to A four lanes, and the elimination of segments of Raymond Road, and WHEREAS,the Committee concluded that the extension of High Point Road from Mid-Town Road south to County Trunk Highway PD is necessary in order to reduce projected increases in traffic within neighborhoods to the east specifically on Muir Field Road,Carnwood Road and McKenna Boulevard and to provide an alternative north/south access route for existing and planned development within the City of Madison both north and south of County Trunk Highway PD, and to allow for closing of Raymond Road where it crosses the Ice Age Trail Corridor, and WHEREAS, the Committee reviewed several alternative road alignments for High Point Road and several alternative, adjacent land use proposals, and WHEREAS,the Committee reviewed and considered the visual impacts from the proposed Ice Age Trail open space of alternative High Point Road alignments and concluded that High Point Road would have limited visual impact on the Ice Age pedestrian and bicycle trails given the presence of existing tree lines and the opportunity to provide additional screening and buffering adjacent to the roadway, and WHEREAS,the Committee concluded that High Point Road could be constructed as a parkway to reduce the impact on the Ice Age Trail. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council hereby accepts the above report of the High Point/Raymond Neighborhood and Ice Age Trail Advisory Committee, agrees with the recommendation that the extension of High Point Road from Mid-Town Road south to County Trunk Highway PD be constructed and adopts the recommendations of the Committee concerning the road location, the proposed public road access points to the proposed extension, and the proposed closures and realignments of Raymond Road where it crosses the Ice Age Trail, all as shown in Exhibit A. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the geometrics of the proposed parkway should generally follow the cross section attached in Exhibit B. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Madison supports the proposed permanent open space designations shown on attached Exhibit A and will work to acquire the open spaces located east of proposed High Point Road as well as the neighborhood parks and drainage ways associated with the development of City of Madison Neighborhoods recommended within the High Point/Raymond Neighborhood Development Plan. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Engineering Division is directed to prepare and ordinance amending the City's official map to officially map the High Point Road extension as included on Exhibit A.
