In an effort to be sure we get it right, staff recommends putting this project on hold and <br /> to revisit it a year from now. This will give MnDOT and their design team a chance to finalize the <br /> preliminary design so we can learn how our local system best connects to the new 169 layout. <br /> Should the Council approve the action,we will send an official notice to the property owners along the <br /> project whom we have already been talking with about property acquisition needs. We the have <br /> appraisals complete for the needed right-of-way but no formal offers have been made. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> There is no financial impact at this time. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ None <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community 2a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAMIRE1 <br />
