J. The City Council adopted a new strategic plan in 2015. This plan included a "strategic initiative" <br />to: improve the image of key corridors such as U.S. Highway 10. <br />K. Based on informal discussions, MnDOT staff is generally concerned about expanded uses on <br />RALF properties (not opposed). MnDOT staff is opposed to the creation of new, or resurrection <br />of former, access points on RALF properties. Although this use does not directly/ clearly create <br />a new access point, it is common for M&G to use a second (former) access point for staging <br />purposes. <br />L. From a land development perspective, staff is repeatedly told by various parties, that U.S. <br />Highway 10 is the City of Ramsey's #1 constraint for two reasons: (1) traffic congestion and (2) <br />image/ appearance. Ramsey is commonly eliminated from site selection processes solely due to <br />U.S. Highway 10. Most people make judgement based on first impressions, and many people <br />only know the City of Ramsey from the perspective of U.S. Highway 10. Staff has received this <br />input from brokers, developers, land owners, existing businesses, prospect businesses, and <br />residents. <br />REF MAP <br />Exiting <br />Lease <br />Pending <br />Lease <br />Request <br />Primary Access Point Secondary Access Point <br />(M&G Original) (M&G Staging) <br />
