On June 19, 2013, the City also received advisory comments from the Metropolitan Council. These comments will also <br />be incorporated into the final document, still tentatively scheduled for City Council consideration on July 9, 2013. <br />[Updated June 20, 2013). <br />Potential Sign Overlay District for Armstrong Boulevard Interchange Area [No Update] <br />As part of the public review process for the Armstrong Interchange, several comments from commercial (retail) <br />property owners discussed concern with loss of visibility to their business due to the height of the interchange.
