Discussion on getting the costs on work to be done on 153rd Ave. between Hwy. #5 and #47. Mr. Mickelson said the Committee felt it was not feasible to wait for the potential shopping center to be developed before building these roads. Mrs. Oliphant questioned why this road was going to be built in preference to others and what criteria was used to make this de- cision. Mr. Mickelson said the engineer felt this road should have priority because it was needed by the school buses. Mr. Cox does not feel this road should be built until the abutting property own- ers agree to donate the necessary right of way. Mrs. Oliphant re- commended the Highway Committee do more research to determine the exact streets which need upgrading and the relative costs needed to upgrade each.
