QUILDING .
Dear Mayor Latimer:
This is in response to your letter of April lst asking for information
perta i n i ng to the mot i on adopted by the C i ty Couny.i..l�--o�--Mar�F�2-4t uest i�g
an evaluatian of the effect of the clos�i,,,ng--v�f the,�High Bridge o� the
Thoroughfare Plan and information as.. to the future,plans of the�ub�}- c Works
Department and the Minnesota Department of Transporta�tion". I am submitting
a copy of a reply we sent to you on April 4th which contains much of the
� information to satisfy the above request. The Planning Department is also
. submitting a statement separateiy which they prepared for last Monday's �
meeting.
In discussing this with the Pianning Department staff, it was felt that the
best way to quickly implement work on the High Bridge would be for the City
Council to pass a Resolution requesting that the Minnesota Department of
' Transportation program the bridge and begin preliminary studies as soon
as possible. Perhaps this same Resolwtion could also direct the Public
Works Department and the City Planning Department to begin �devetopment o`
a prelimina ry plan.
Very truly yours,
v w��`�
