Ms. Garwood replied that their might some concerns from property owners regarding accesses. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak noted that when they are talking about the need to acquire more property <br />to widen C.R. #116 they are only talking about the area from SA to Sunfish Lake Boulevard <br />because the rest of C.R. #116 has been built as a future four-lane road. <br /> <br />Councihnember Cook expressed concern about the foot traffic and bicycle traffic along <br />Am~strong Boulevard because it is considered to have an on-street bike path. He inquired if the <br />County would work with the City on constructing a trail if the street is widened. <br /> <br />Ms. Garwood replied yes. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson replied that the Council has allowed that to be done in the past. <br /> <br />Ms. Garwood stated that if they can plan ahead to include a trail that is the best way to handle the <br />situation. <br /> <br />Councihnember Cook stated that he would also like to look at C.R. #63. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmerman inquired if there is a contract that the cities can sign to assure that if <br />the City of Ramsey proceeds with acquiring accesses that Anoka cannot refuse to do the same. <br /> <br />Ms. Garwood replied that that is part of the corridor study that was to agree with a plan. <br /> <br />Councihnember Zimmerman inquired if they can hold them to that. <br /> <br />Ms. Garwood replied that the County would hold them to it. The County is the body responsible <br />for watching the access points. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig inquired if they are going to widen roads does would it make sense to run <br />sewer under the roads so that they don't have to do it in the future. <br /> <br />Principal City Engineer Olson replied that that was a very valid point, but they don't have any <br />plans to upgrade the roads currently. He stated that there was plenty of time to put those things <br />together. <br /> <br />Motion b y C ouncilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to recommend that the <br />City Council direct Staff to prepare a resolution in support of the proposed changes to the <br />functional classification requested by Anoka County that will be made available at the City <br />Council meeting with the Report for Public Works for ratification. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Zimmerman, and Councilmembers Elvig, and Cook. <br />Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/March 18, 2003 <br /> Page 9 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
