RE: MUNICIPAL STATE AID SYSTEM
Dear Mr. Klaers:
We have recently completed the City's annual certification of mileage. Due to the
amount of new street construction associated with development in the City, the
Municipal State Aid System had a surplus of 1.68 miles. We have suggested to MnDOT
that two streets be placed on the Municipal State Aid System. They are shown on the
attached map. One is Highland Road from Proctor Road to Jackson Street. This was a
previous MSA street which was taken off the system a few years ago. The second is
Ulysses Street from 165th Avenue to 171st Avenue. This is the proposed route through
the Cargill property contemplated in the City's global agreement with Cargill.
To add these two street segments to the City's Municipal State Aid System requires the
City Council adoption of the attached resolution.
If you have any questions regarding this issue, please call.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
