We anticipate approaching you in the near future for assistance with <br /> answering some of the questions, and look forward to receiving those answers. We also <br /> plan to keep you well informed so that you can raise any technical concerns you may <br /> have as we proceed. <br /> In the very immediate timeframe,we are requesting that Mn/DOT provide us with a <br /> digital file of the alternate route alignment, as presented in the mapping dated October 16, <br /> 2006. We understand that the alignment is very preliminary and subject to much change, <br /> but from the perspective of our Study Group, it provides a critical starting point for our <br /> analysis. We intend to overlay the alternate route alignment with our extensive mapping, <br /> including our zoning map, and then identify potential issues within the near and distant <br /> proximity. <br /> We are also requesting that we receive a digital copy of the aerial imagery that was the <br /> backdrop for the October 16,2006 drawing. While we understand that you are acquiring <br /> additional data prior to doing detailed design,this imagery is of higher quality than <br /> anything we have in our possession and would be invaluable to use in our mapping <br /> systems as we move forward. <br /> If you have any technical questions on our data request, please contact Dawn Bittner, <br /> 218-568-6699, at City Hall. <br />
