Mr. Dulgar, City Manager, stated that they were in the process of acquiring road right-of-way easements, etc. from the two major properties involved which was quite a process. At the time, the City Attorney was drawing up the paperwork for the Cornelius Corporation to sign. He also stated that Cornelius was quite concerned about the amount of traffic that would be generated if Thurston Avenue should ever be extended to Industrial Blvd. Accordingly, Mr. Dulgar felt that they wouldn't be ready for a joint Council meeting ~ntil sometime between October and the end of December. I guess that they also have a major drainage problem to get resolved. It does appear that their Council is not aware Of all the problems that exist with sai~[-.project. The Anoka City Manager and Engineer do.not have a problem with the alignment of the propQsed street extens'ion.
