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 !ntersect with Thurston ~ve~e. He has learned that the <br />City of A~oka has approved a preliminary plat that does 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 />developme,t In that preliminary plat. The sewer Interceptor line <br />is in pla~e along that alignment, so there will be no development <br />over lt. i!Mr. Jankowskl speculated that at some point in the far <br />future, t~at~portlon of McKinley Street will be constructed in <br />Anoka. O~e of the things that could be done to provide access for <br />the developers in Ramsey and in Anoka would be to construct a road <br />straight ~orth 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 clrcutation <br />throughout that industrial area. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski recommended the City proceed with the proposed <br />McKinley Street project. He will also be working with the <br />Director Of Development in Anoka on other Issues relating to both <br />cities. <br /> <br />Mrs. Helling 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~igoOd traffic pattern in that vicinity, specifically the <br />extenion o'f McKinley Street east through Anoka and a north/south <br />street along the border of the two cities between McKinley and <br />CoRd 116. It may be an attraction to industry to have those roads <br />already ~Onstructed. <br /> <br />No specific Council action was taken. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL/APRIL 9, 1991 <br /> Page 9 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
