CALL TO ORDER Mayor Kuzma called the City Council Work Session to order at 5:30 p.m. 2. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION 2.01: Provide Direction: Highway 10 Frontage Road Between Ramsey Blvd & Armstrong Blvd City Administrator Hagen introduced Jason Orcutt from the Anoka County Transportation Division. He stated they are looking for Council direction on the frontage road between Ramsey Boulevard and Armstrong Boulevard which would be a dead-end cul-du-sac and extending it toward EZ Auto to provide access to it. Mr. Orcutt stated this could potentially be a large cost savings to the taxpayers, and to the project as a whole. He added it could also potentially offset some of the City and County costs. He asked for discussion and direction around design attributes. He stated since they met last time a gated access was added because the cul-du-sac would be longer than what a typical City street would allow. He stated the proposed break -a -way gates would allow access to Fire and Police. He stated City Council Work Session /July 26, 2022 Page 1 of 19
