As you are aware, in-person absentee voting began on September 23. 696 residents voted at the Ramsey's counter during that time. As of Tuesday, November 1, the Direct Balloting process began which is basically early voting. Beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, residents were able to cast their voted ballot into the DS200 counter —just like they would at their polling location on Tuesday. On Tuesday, 66 residents voted using the direct balloting method and on Wednesday, 115 residents cast their ballots. And, as of this writing, there is a line of voters waiting to cast their ballot! Anoka County Elections processes all the mail -in absentee ballots so staff doesn't have a count on the number of residents who voted using that method. City Hall remains an absentee voting location 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today and tomorrow; 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Based upon the last couple of weeks, staff is expecting the absentee voter traffic to be steady. City Improvement Proiect Updates Andrie Street and 164th Lane Reconstruction.

Central Park Parking Lot Improvements. The City Council recently awarded a contract to construct an additional 70 parking stalls within Central Park, as well as pedestrian trail and stormwater system improvements. Construction is scheduled to be completed by August 1, 2017. Jarvis Street Railroad Crossing is Officially a Quiet Zone. The Jarvis Street rail crossing is now an established quiet zone meaning the routine sounding of locomotive horns will no longer occur at this crossing, though horns may still be sounded by the train's engineer if safety concerns warrant it.
