Mr. Jankowski stated he would check the condition of 167th Avenue N.W. east of Yttrium. <br /> <br />Daryl Peterson, 6520 - 167th Avenue N.W., Ramsey - stated that in 1987 the street was widened. <br />The upgrading was done with MSA funds; however, the job was rushed through and it was very <br />poorly constructed. He felt that with the amount of traffic on that road, the MSA funds should be <br />used to pay for the sealcoating. He added that he counted 11 property owners as opposed to the 19 <br />stated by City Engineer Jankowski. <br /> <br />Terry Kubat, 6530 - 167th Avenue N.W., Ramsey - stated that with the amount of traffic 167th <br />gets, it should not be considered a private residential road. It is not a side street and that maybe the <br />stores and the truck traffic should have to pay for the improvements. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski responded to these concerns by stating that the purpose of the improvement project <br />is maintenance, not rehabilitation or major repair. The sealcoating and crack filling program do not <br />add any strength to the pavement but merely protect the integrity of the existing structure. The <br />City's position is that it is fair to ask property owners on 9-ton design streets to share the same <br />costs involved in protecting the investment in the pavement as do property owners on 7-ton streets. <br />Commercial establishments having frontage on 167th Avenue N.W. will also be assessed. <br /> <br />Daryl Peterson stated he heard a rumor that 167th Avenue N.W. was going to be turned into a <br />County road or a State highway. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated there has been no discussion of that. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hardin and seconded by Mayor Gilbertson to adjourn the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carded.
