She thought it would be similar to 35W in Duluth and would allow <br />green space over the top. <br />Mr. Maurer stated it may not have a cover if it is not needed functionally and Mn/DOT <br />would make this deterinination. <br />Councilmember Moon expressed concerns with having the Taskforce continue this Plan <br />(Mississippi Connections) when a large part of the puzzle (the final design for Highway 10) <br />is incomplete. He stated he would like the proposed alignment for Highway 10 finalized <br />before moving forward. He stated he would like to suspend the Taskforce until a Geomemc <br />Study (Study) could be completed. <br />Mayor Klinzing stated the Plan is long term so it would make sense to wait until a Study <br />was completed. She noted that the Taskforce did an excellent job on this plan. <br />Councilmeinber Moon questioned what the Council would like to see if a developer wants <br />to build along the highway prior to a final plan being completed. <br />Councilmember Gumphrey stated the Taskforce did an outstanding job with the Plan and <br />he doesn't want to stop their progress. <br />Councilmember Zerwas stated the city would be putting property owners in a difficult <br />position if there are too many plans in place. He questioned the timeframe for the Study. <br />Mr. Maurer stated the Study might possibly be incorporated into the 169 Study with the <br />understanding that the city would pay for it. He would need to get confirmation from <br />Mn/DOT. He stated it could be six to nine months before completed to the alternative <br />selection stage. <br />Councilmeinber Gumphrey questioned the cost of the Study. <br />
