The Committee reviewed the bridge designs taking the Council direction into consideration. Paul Bunyan Bridge—Bridge No. 18002 The Committee decided that adding the Paul Bunyan railing emblem was not necessary at this time due to the cost of the emblem.The Committee suggested adding an art emblem in the future which could be designed by a local artist. The Committee recommends the following for Bridge No. 18002 Concept#1 with the addition of the vertical pilasters shown in Concept#2. CSAH 11/Interchange Bridge—Bridge No. 18009 The Committee discussed the two concepts.The Committee noted that the Council and bridge committee was in favor of spending more on aesthetics on this bridge.The bobber emblem on Concept #2 needs to be as large as possible. Recommendation to not use the words Pequot Lakes on the bobber as it may be too small to read.The Committee recommends adding a City entrance sign before the bridge and using the same bobber on the sign as on the bridge. The Committee recommends the following for Bridge No. 18009: Concept#1. 3 street lights necessary for a symmetrical balance to the bridge. Street lights will be the same lights as those on Washington Avenue. Use the bobber as shown but eliminate the words "Pequot Lakes." Eliminate the texture on the wing walls and front face of abutment and front face of the bridge.
