Becker and Royalton have prospered greatly by avoiding or refusing to allow a bypass of <br /> their communities. Each of these communities is flourishing as a result of having a major <br /> highway running directly through their cities(just like Pequot Lakes today!). <br /> I realize that the City Council's responsibilities are broader than simply insuring a strong <br /> business community. I think all of us who have a vested interest in the future of Pequot <br /> Lakes can agree there are important current and future safety issues that must be resolved <br /> for the benefit of all who live, work or travel through Pequot Lakes. However I firmly <br /> believe that a through-town route can be constructed in a comparable safe manner. <br /> Imagine the interesting and synergistic solutions we can develop if the City Council, local <br /> residents, business owners/business people,and MNDOT all work together. It all starts <br /> with first deciding, and then making it clear to MNDOT, that the through-town route is <br /> the alternative the Pequot Lakes community supports. <br /> Sinc <br /> Patri J.
