CITY OF CHANHASSEN
A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE METROPOLITAN TRANSIT CO~1ISSION TO PROVIDE
THE CITIZENS OF CHANHASSEN ACCESS TO MTC EXPRESS ROUTE 53J.
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Transit Commission provides convenient,
economical and regular mass transit services to all areas within the
Metropolitan Transit Taxing District and the citizens of Chanhassen
are taxed yearly approximately $40,117. or 2.02 mills for these MTC
services; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chanhassen being within such district but
whose citizens are denied access to the existing, publically funded
mass transit services provided by the MTC, specifically MTC Express
Route #53J, due to the MTC's "closed door" policy within the city limits
of Chanhassen; and
"""
WHEREAS, this lack of access to Express Route 53J is a cause of
concern for the citizens of Chanhassen in that they must now pay higher
fares and spend more time in travel to reach downtown Minneapolis
destinations by having to utilize the transit service provided by a
private operator;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Chanhassen hereby
requests the MTC to modify its "closed door" policy within the city
limits of Chanhassen and establish conveniently located bus stops within
the City of Chanhassen for MTC Express Route 53J so that the citizens
of Chanhassen may have the option of choosing the type of transit
service most suitable to their individual travel needs.
Passed and adopted by the city council of the City of Chanhassen
