that's unsafe. That road is existing - it should not be taken away. We want our road to stay a <br />dead-end. The road closed does not make a lot of sense. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beahen inquired if the residents are aware the closure of 171st is temporary while <br />Council evaluates the situation. <br /> <br />Mr. Keyser stated that this situation has been an on-going battle for four years. We wanted our <br />road paved as long as it remains a cul-de-sac. He did not know how this guy had input in having <br />Bison paved - he does not even live on the road. He added that a couple of people have moved <br />because of this situation. He added that streets are for traffic - not for playgrounds. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin expressed a need for a special meeting where all these people involved could be <br />heard. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer felt the barricades should be left in place at least until after the meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Hillebregt inquired if he would get notification of the meeting time and date. He stated that <br />this has been going on for 15 years and it's a joke now. How can we be sure that something will <br />be done. <br /> <br />Mr. Keyser stated he would like to ask each of the Councilmembers their reason for closing 171st. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich informed him that is not an appropriate action. <br /> <br />Mr, Keyser felt it was a good question and should be answered. <br /> <br />PRESENTATION <br /> <br />Tom Egan, Mayor of Eagan, introduced John Weaver, Bruce Johnson, Vem Peterson and Roger <br />Peterson, who presented an overview of the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities - its major <br />purposes and their affiliations.
