and industrial in nature. It is contemplated that within the 1993 - 1998 time frame the entire roadway will be completed. Segments of the m~way have been in place since 1992 with additional improvements in 1993 as residential subdivision collectors, it is projected that the se~ents yet to be completed total just over $2 million and it is expected that about half of the total project cost will be recovered through assessments. About 37% will be paid from the MSA fund and about 14% from the Tax Increment fund. It is expected that the portion east of Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W., that which carries primarily residential traffic, will be assessment projects with either of the MSA or Tax Increment funds picking up the non-residential equivalent costs. It is projected that the commercial/industrial portion, serving as an east/west collector between Sunfish Lake Boulevard N.W. and Rarnsey Boulevard N.W., will be funded by MSA and Tax increment proceeds and not as assessment projects.

Also the segment between Count), Road #83 and Highway #10 at the western edge of Ramsey, has exi_sted for a number of years. What remains to be completed is the segment between Variolite Street N.W. and County Road #83. This is projected as a 1994-1995 project with an estimated cost of $530,000. It is contemplated that the Landf'fl.1 Trust Fund, as a portion dedicated to park improvements, be used for acquisition of the property, with the balance of any acquisition costs and construction costs to be provided for by the MSA fund The park allocation is suggested in that in addition to right-of-way acquisition, it is intended that ail of the wetland area south of the right-of-way be purchased for eventual nature preserve. As was the case in the 1991 improvement, the MSA fund will prov/de for the entire cost of the roadway. It is suggested that, in addition to the roadway, an off-road trail be completed as an MSA eI/gible project expense. It is projected that the acquisition occur in 1994 with construction in 1995. This will complete the crosstown that exists between Roanoke Street N.W., east of Trunk Highway #47 through the community to Highway #10, a distance of over four miles.
