Mr. Jankowski stated he would check the condition of 167th Avenue N.W. east of Yttrium. Daryl Peterkin, 6520 - 167th Avenue N.W., Ramsey - stated that in 1987 the street was widened. The upgradltlg was done with MSA funds; however, the job was rushed through and it was very poorly conStt~ucte, d. He felt that with the amount of traffic on that road, the MSA funds should be used to payifbr tiie sealcoating. He added that he counted 11 property owners as opposed to the 19 stated by City Erigineer Jankowski. Terry Kubat~ 6530 - 167th Avenue N.W., Ramsey - stated that with the amount of traffic 167th gets, it sho~fl not be considered a private residential road. It is not a side street and that maybe the stores and the Inick traffic should have to pay for the improvements. Mr. Jankowstd responded to these concerns by stating that the purpose of the improvement project is mainten~¢e, t!ot rehabilitation or major repair. The sealcoating and crack f'flling program do not add any st~t~gth to the pavement but merely protect the integrity of the existing structure. The City's position iS that it is fair to ask property owners on 9-ton design streets to share the same costs involV~ in protecting the investment in the pavement as do property owners on 7-ton streets. Commemial es~blishments having frontage on 167th Avenue N.W. will also be assessed. Daryl PeterSOn stated he heard a rumor that 167th Avenue N.W. was going to be turned into a County roaJd'or a State highway. Mr. Jank°Wski Stated there has been no discussion of that.
