As you probably know the City constructed Twin Lakes <br />Road from THIO to CSAH 13 about 5 years when sewer and water were extended to this part of <br />the city. Twin Lakes Road was planned as a Major Collector for anticipated development in <br />the eastern part of the city. In keeping with good transportation planning principles it <br />provides a connection to existing arterials (CSAH 12 & 13) and principle arterial (TH 10) <br />The original project plans called for the cul-de-sacing of Line Ave. When the City <br />Council first discussed leaving that connection to Twin Lakes Rd several years ago their <br />discussion was about leaving it open for awhile but eventually building the cul-de-sac as <br />traffic continued to increase. In other words it was always about when to build the cul- <br />de-sac not if to build it. <br /> <br />Your question about what can you do to reverse this decision, we as City <br />along to the City Council all comments we receive regarding this issue. <br />be provided to the City Council in an upcoming council meeting packet. <br /> <br />staff will pass <br />Your email will <br /> <br />Hopefully this helps to answer your questions. If you have any other questions please <br />email me or call me at 763-635-1051. <br /> <br />Terry Maurer <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: Schmidt, Joan <br />Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 1:00 PM <br />To: Maurer, Terry <br />Subject: FW, Road Changes <br /> <br />Joan Schmidt, City Clerk <br />City of Elk River <br />jschmidt@ci.elk-river.mn.us <br />763-635-1002 <br /> <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: Foster, Max C.

I feel that this decision was not <br />well thought out. There are many new residential areas being built by my home, and the <br />closing of routes makes no sense. There is a large amount of traffic in this area <br />presently, and by adding new homes and closing roads, it will only get busier. Please let <br />me know what I can do in order to reverse this decision. I believe residents should have <br />first say in their road systems, not a council. <br /> <br />Thank You, <br /> <br />Max Foster <br /> <br />1 <br />
