Both river crossings and <br />Thurston Avenue have the potential to improve Ramsey's self image. <br /> <br />Mr. Greenberg stated that the idea for Thurston Avenue Would be good only if <br />there is a Mississippi River bridge crossing at that point also. If the <br />present bridge is expanded to 6 lane, traffic coming into Ramsey should be <br />routed out West Main instead of going up the cloverleafs and onto Hwy. 10. <br /> <br />Mr. Deemer stated that there are two viable river crossings coming out of the <br />Metro )'raffic Task Force -- Thnrston Avenne and Cty. Rd. 9 in Coon Rapids; <br />Thurston Avenue will be less expensive and more viable. <br /> <br />Mr. Fults stated that communication and discnssions should take place to set np <br />traffic flow guidelines for developers to follow. <br /> <br />CQMMISSION INPUT <br /> <br />Chairman Greenberg suggested that another EDC/P&Z joint meeting be held in a <br />couple of months and in the meantime recommendations for stricter zoning <br />regulations on property along Hwy. 10 should be considered. <br /> <br />Mr. Fults stated that EDC shonld he made aware of when P&Z will he discussing <br />performance standards so that input can be provided. <br /> <br />Consensus was that EDC and p&Z should meet quarterly with a subcommittee <br />established to prepare agendas for those meetings. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />May 13. 1986 <br /> <br />Page4 of 5 <br />
