RE: PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OVER TRUNK HIGHWAY 169
DearCoundlMembeffi:
As we have proceeded with the preparation of plans and specifications for the
pedestrian bridge over Trunk Highway 169, we have also applied for a MnDOT Limited
Use Permit. Recently, we received the draft permit back from MnDOT. One of the
requirements beyond executing the permit is that a resolution of the City Council
approving the MnDOT Limited Use Permit be submitted prior to the final issuance of the
permit. Therefore, I have prepared the attached resolution indicating the City of Elk
River's approval of the Limited Use Permit for a pedestrian bridge over Trunk Highway
169.
We recommend City Council adoption of this resolution. If you have any questions
regarding this issue, I will be in attendance at your March 8, 1999, City Council meeting.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
