Mr. MacPherson stated that there were a few options, noting that the original plan intended to follow the current curves of 47, which included a two-lane bridge. He stated that as the municipalities and County were involved, the future of the roadway was discussed and softening the curves was reviewed which would include a four -lane bridge that veers into the Alter site. He noted that a third option was reviewed that would pass through the fairgrounds rather than Alter. Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the City of Anoka is leading a planning study to continue north of that railroad crossing and noted that Ramsey will be part of a public input process that will occur in the next month. Mayor LeTourneau stated that as nice as it is to discuss 47, there is still work to be done on Highway 10 before moving onto that roadway. He stated that Ramsey was graciously received at the Transportation Committee meeting and appreciated the collaborative nature of all the agencies working together on Highway 10. He stated that the option with the two railroad overpasses would create the best option for safety and mobility. He stated that Highway 10 is an extensive travelshed, not only for Ramsey, but for the surrounding communities and recreational areas to the north as well. He stated that Ramsey will continue with its lobbying efforts in an attempt to continue to move this forward and create a solution for Highway 10. Community Development Director Gladhill stated that there is an upcoming open house in Anoka from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. on September 18 to discuss the Highway 10 corridor improvements planned for Anoka. 3.
