We recognize the closures, noise, detours, and disruptions were significant. With the project now substantially complete, we hope the new interchanges and frontage roads provide safer, more attractive, and more reliable access to your business or property. The Federal, State, Countyand Cityinvestment in Ramsey is substantial, and the City Council remains committed to strengthening the image and functionality of this important corridor. As you know, this project has been many years in the making. During the planning and design phases, the city opted to allow businesses to defer maintenance or site improvements due to the uncertainty of the final roadway layout. Now that construction is complete, we would like to work with you on fulfilling those obligations andreinvesting in your properties in this crucially important and visible corridor Over the next several months, our Code Enforcement team will be visiting every businessproperty in the corridor to explain the processandconduct anexteriorinspection of areas of the property that are visible from the adjacent roadways or customer areas. Our inspector will go over the property maintenance and nuisance Codes, the building permit process, and any original conditional use permits (CUPs)with you. The processwill start at the western border, work along the south side, and upon reaching the east border, switch to the north sideof Highway 10and work west. The planned approach does not negate any ability for a property to be more proactive on the timing. If you have questions about your property and want to meet with staff earlier in the process, please contact them or stop in at City Hall. Our inspector will work with you to establish a reasonable and mutually agreed-upon timeline for correcting any deficiencies. We are committed to being fair, consistent, and practical in our approach.Our goal is to resolve issues through early communication and collaboration. Additional City staff—from Building, Planning, Economic Development, Fire, and Engineering—will be available to support you as needed. Itis our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient government services.
