Box 2720 Baxter,MN 56425 <br /> Phone:218829-5117 Fax:218829-2517 <br /> Date: October 8, 2004 File#: 130B025 <br /> To: Tim Bray, MnDOT <br /> From: Tim Houle <br /> Subject: Highway 371 North Improvement Project <br /> ... . . .._........... ...................... . <br /> Tim, following is the bulk of a memo I reviewed with the Pequot Lakes City Council on <br /> Tuesday, October 5, 2004 regarding the above subject. <br /> I have included their questions and comments. <br /> I have also included some questions for MnDOT to get back to the City on. <br /> -------------------------------- <br /> MnDOT has asked for the City's comments on the proposed 4-lane Trunk Highway (TH) 371 <br /> improvement project. They are eager to get whatever comments they can from the October <br /> regular City Council meeting, even if there are variations in a particular area. <br /> MnDOT has done numerous public open houses and presentations as well as numerous meetings <br /> throughout this project development process. For several months,there has been a long layout <br /> map hung up in City Hall. They would now like the City Council's comments so they can <br /> incorporate them into the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Layout and complete the <br /> process within the next few months. MnDOT will then present the Final Layout for City <br /> concurrence. <br /> Following is my interpretation of comments from the Council, City Staff, citizens, and others. <br /> I believe it is important to assign a committee to work with MnDOT on a monthly and maybe even <br /> on a weekly basis as the project progresses to work through the issues/decisions.I would suggest the <br /> Mayor,a P&Z representative,the City Engineer,a member of PLADO,and the Street Superintendent <br /> as a minimum be on this committee. Other people can be added as you see fit. <br /> I have numbered the comments just for ease of referencing to them (i.e. they are not in any kind of <br /> numbered importance). <br /> Comments start on the south side of the City and generally proceed north. <br /> General <br /> 1.
