Because of the importance of' this roadway to citizens of the St. Paul Community, and because of the necessity to agaim focus � attention on the real problem involved, the St. Paul Trades and Labor Assembly requests that the City Council does urge, by � Resolution, the lifting of the 1Vloratorium which has, to date, stopped all ,progress in construction and in the environmental im- pact study. ' We would like to point out that no good reason ha.s ever been advanced to explain the existence of the Tdoratorium,and its only -�effect,so far,ha.s been to halt the natural process of decision which must take place before the project can be completed. Very truly yours, , �/� ` A . d W. Chute . opeiu#12 b Se retary-Treasurer � • " - April 1 D ave, ���,,�'��'� ,< r� � , ,_i Joh Diehl called (373-8961) , stating he is chairman of the g oup RIP 35E. He has just been advised the Council is think ng of undertaking a resolution this a.m. re the con- struct`on of 35E. He would like to say they were not notifi d earlier and will not have any witnesses present. They w uld like to have a statement on record their or- ganiza ion would oppose any resolution which calls upon the leg'slature to amend the law prohibiting the construc- tion of 35E on the Pleasant Ave. corridor. They have en- � dorsed pparently successfuly an amendment to the law to allow t conpletion of environmental studies and feel it would be inappropriate to have any further legislation.
