He <br />said the only other example of intersection planning was at Ramsey Boulevard and the additional <br />right-of-way that was platted, and that even though we didn't know the footprint we knew we <br />didn't want to impact additional land. <br /> <br />Housing and Redevelopment Authority / June 28, 2011 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br /> <br />
