There was a consensus of the Council. <br />2.03: Receive Updates and Provide Direction on Ramsey Gateway Highway 10 <br />Improvement Project <br />City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby reviewed the Staff report about the design <br />and aesthetics of the Highway 10 improvements. He stated that Josh Shields, the Principal <br />Landscape Architect from Bolton & Menk was present this evening and has a presentation for the <br />Council. <br />Mr. Shields gave a presentation on the timeline, public feedback from the open house, and <br />aesthetics for the project, including bridge features and landscaping. <br />Councilmember Specht asked about the turnout from the open house and asked how many people <br />were in attendance. <br />Mr. Shields stated he was not sure of the numbers of attendees both in person and virtual, but could <br />find out for the Council. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked about the under edge bridge lighting and if it was on the deck <br />by the sidewalk or if it was underneath pointing downward. <br />Mr. Shields stated that it was discussed back in April that it would be on the top part of the <br />sidewalk, not underneath. He added there was more concerning this later on in his presentation. <br />Mayor Kuzma asked if the lights would be able to change colors. <br />Mr. Shields stated this can be talked about later on. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked where the bench areas would be. <br />Mr. Shields stated this will also be discussed later on in the presentation. <br />Mayor Kuzma asked how hard it would be to incorporate some sort of a river design into the <br />underpass as Ramsey is between two rivers; he sees that this would give the City some identity. <br />Mr. Shields said he could bring this back to the design team to work on some options. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked for clarification that this would be added to Armstrong and <br />incorporating it into Ramsey and Sunfish or just on Ramsey. <br />Mayor Kuzma said he is just thinking about the new bridges. He added he does not know what the <br />process would be to change this. <br />Councilmember Musgrove shared she thinks it would be good to just do this on Ramsey otherwise <br />there will be two bridges with one identity and another one that is separate. <br />City Council Work Session / September 27, 2022 <br />Page 4 of 10 <br />
