The road will <br />terminate at the eastern City limits, and the Comprehensive Plan <br />calls for a thoroughfare to extend eastward through the City of <br />Anoka to intersect with Thurston Ave~. He has ]earned that the <br />City of Anoka has approved a preliminary plat that ~oes not <br />anticipate the connection of their section of McKinley Street to <br />Ramsey's portion. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowskl reported he has discussed this with the Director of <br />Development for the City of Anoka. There has been little <br />development In that preliminary plat. The sewer Interceptor line <br />is in place along that alignment, so there will be no development <br />over it. Mr. Jankowskl speculated that at some point tn the far <br />future, that portion of McKinley Street will be constructed In <br />Anoka. One of the things that could De done to provide access for <br />the developers in Ramsey and in Anoka would be to construct a road <br />straight north from McKinley along the Ramsey/Anoka border up to <br />CoRd 116. He suggested the City work together with Anoka to make <br />that happen, as it would provide good traffic circulation <br />throughout that industrial area. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski recommenaed the City proceed with the proposed <br />McKinley Street pro.iect. He wi]] also be working with the <br />Director of Development in Anoka on other issues relating to Doth <br />cities. <br /> <br />Mrs. Hel]ing reported TIF funds are earmarked for this project. <br /> <br />The Council expressed a desire to work with the City of Anoka to <br />develop a good traffic pattern in that vicinity, specifically the <br />extenion of McKinIey Street east through Anoka an~ a north/south <br />street along the border of the two cities between McKinley and <br />CoRd 116. It may De an attraction to industry to have those roads <br />already constructed. <br /> <br />No specific Council action was taken. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL/APRIL <br /> Page 9 of ii <br /> <br /> <br />
