The extension of "Neon Street is anticipated to be constructed this summer as a'part of the Rum River Prairie development to the south. One of the contingencies associated with the offer to purchase this property is dependant upon a traffic' study showing favorable results from making this connection. A figure illustrating this proposed connection is enclosed. In addition to providing an additional outlet for traffic within the River Pines neighborhood, this street segment will allow the opportunity for greater community bonds between existing and new residents. It will also enable the lift station which is located immediately east of this property to be removed. This will eliminate any possibility" of a mechanical failure which could result in sewer backups in the neighborhood. The results of the traffic study are anticipated to be available at the end of February. You are invited to attend an informational Open House to be held. on Wednesday, March 7th . between 7:00 and 8:30 pm in the Mexander Ramsey Room of the Ramsey Municipal Building, 7550 Sunwood Drive.
