Chairperson Riley echoed the comments of Councilmember Johns regarding the three bizarrely <br />named streets within The COR. He stated that he would like to focus on those three street names <br />and would limit the discussion to those street names. He stated that his preference would be to <br />address those street names before there are businesses or residents on those streets. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kuzma asked if there are residents on those street names in other areas. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby replied that there are residents living on those street names in other areas <br />of the City. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley suggested naming the roadway something specific to The COR that would <br />help to identify the location. He was unsure that acceptable names would be found that would <br />start with X, Y, and Z. He believed that the discussion of changing the road names should focus <br />on the sections of road only within The COR boundaries. <br /> <br />Councilmember Johns agreed that it would make sense if there was a clean cutoff within The <br />COR. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby asked if staff should come back with alternatives that could fit. <br /> <br />Councilmember Johns asked how the post office works, as far as using numbers for the street <br />names. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill replied that the City and County dictate the address <br />and the post office simply collects that database. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley confirmed the consensus of the Committee to direct staff to prepare <br />alternatives that would make sense for road names within The COR. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby confirmed the boundaries of The COR. <br /> <br />6. COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />6.01: Ferry Street Overpass <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby noted that he spoke with the Anoka engineering staff about the Ferry <br />Street overpass. He noted that the project is on pause at this time in attempt to straighten out the <br />S curves. He stated that Anoka staff stated that they would keep Ramsey involved and informed <br />when the project moves forward. <br /> <br />Chairperson Riley noted that he would like Ramsey to remain active and proactive rather than <br />reacting to the decisions that have been made. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that the bids for the sealcoat project were opened today and were <br />very favorable. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee / February 20, 2018 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />
