ASHTO is the governing authority for route designation and the resolution is needed by <br /> them for each local community segment along the route to make the entire MRT an official route. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> • City of Elk River Mississippi River Trail Draft Resolution <br /> • Location Map <br /> Action Motion by Second by Vote <br /> Follow Up <br /> POWERED 0 <br /> C:AUsers\jmiller\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet <br /> �� <br /> Files\Content.Outlook\GWL3I79K\Mississippi River Trail requet for action-resolution attached(1).docx <br />
