The purpose of this Topic Report is to receive City Council concurrence, so as to allow staff to <br />explore several initiatives to reverse the direction of the MnDot MRT planning process to ensure <br />that Ramsey remains literally on the MRT map. In summary these action steps are: <br />• Vehemently oppose the removal of Anoka and Ramsey from the MRT mapping to <br />include; resolutions if necessary, building coalitions, and calling on assistance from <br />appointed and elected officials if deemed effective. <br />• Bring back for Anoka and Ramsey's City Councils, an advance construction plan for the <br />MRT's construction from King's Island, through Mississippi West Regional Park to the <br />existing trail to the river and site of the future pedestrian overpass. <br />• Authorize staff to contact property owners between Alpaca Estates and Bowers Drive to <br />see if there are opportunities to construct a trail connecting these subdivisions in advance <br />of development in this vicinity. <br />• And other measures as may be necessary and prudent. <br />On the afternoon of this Council work session there is another MnDot community meeting in <br />Roseville -staff will report back on any new developments in this matter. Attached is the draft <br />MRT map obtained from MnDot staff earlier this month. <br />Action Statement: <br />Based upon discussion <br />Reviewed by: <br />City Administrator <br />CCWS: 8/24110 <br />
