PAUL <br /> <br />WASECA <br /> <br />As you may be aware, there has been a lot of discussion concerning improvements to the <br />Trunk Highway 169 corridor through Elk River, due to the recent fatalities on this stretch <br />of roadway. Working closely with Tom Dumont, I am anticipating that the City may <br />undertake a fencing and/or lighting project in the summer of 1997. This would be on the <br />section of highway from Main Street to 193rd Avenue. I recently met with Gary Dirlam <br />and Tom Dumont to discuss the procedure the City should use in undertaking this type of <br />improvement, with potential MnDOT reimbursement at a later date. They suggested that <br />a public involvement process would need to be laid out and implemented prior to the design <br />of any improvements. They suggested that I prepare the broad framework for a public <br />involvement process, and mn it by you for your review and comment. <br /> <br />The purpose of this correspondence is to broadly discuss such a public involvemem process <br />and look for your expertise on a few issues. We would anticipate having separate meetings <br />with groups that may have an interest in the fencing and/or lighting project. I would <br />envision that the interested groups would include the following: <br /> <br />A. The Deerfield Neighborhood located north of Elk Hills Drive and east of Highway 169, <br /> <br />B. The Elk Park Center Commercial properties, <br /> <br />C. The Elk River School District, <br /> <br />D. The commercial properties located south of School Street/Elk Hills Drive. This group <br />would also include the Perkins Restaurant; and <br /> <br />347-2005.dec <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
