The intent of the meeting was to reach consensus as to what the City's position will be on a number of unresolved issues prior to its next meeting with MnDOT. The Mayor and all members of the Council were present, in addition to the following members of the TH 371 Committee: Mike Loven Brett Twardy Dawn Bittner Sandy Peine Mark Jurchen Jerry Braam The Mayor began the meeting by polling individual members of the Council on what they felt were the most important unresolved issues to date. The responses fell generally into three categories: additional access points, pedestrian safety, and speed. The following summarizes the consensus opinion of the Council in these areas. Additional Access Points The City feels that additional access points,particularly in the core downtown area, are necessary. Specifically, these include: • addition of a right in-right out access at West Woodman Street • addition of a right out to the proposed right in access at East Woodman Street • addition of a right in access to East Sibley Street (Tim and Mayor to discuss this with UBC and DNR prior to meeting with MnDOT) • addition of a right in-right out access at some point on the west side of the 1 `/2 mile stretch(that presently has no proposed access)between Morehouse Drive and C.R. 107/C.R. 168 (Sandy, Tim understood this to be a right in-right out on the west side, is that what you recall? I don't remember anything specific.) C:\My Documents\City Clerk\HIGHWAY 37 1\Meetings\092805 Council Workshop Summary-memo.doc
