ITEM 5.1. <br /> <br />Howard R, Green Company <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />April 3, 1998 <br />File: 803450j-0325/0060 <br /> <br />CO~NSULTING ~NGINEEI~ <br /> <br />Formerly MSA <br />Consulting Engineers <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />P. O. Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: TH 169 Pedestrian Bridge <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />As I have previously reported to the City Council, the ISTEA funding for the TH 169 Pedestrian <br />Bridge has been moved from FY00 to FY99 (starts July 1, 1998). Also, Congressman Oberstar <br />has indicted he may be successful in getting funding for the pedestrian bridge through a <br />demonstration project added to the ISTEA bill in Congress. In either case, there is a significant <br />amount of work to be done prior to having a project ready to construct. This includes the federal <br />documentation, easement acquisition on the eastside of the highway; design and Mn/DOT <br />review. <br /> <br />Given the amount of work to be accomplished we would recommend that the City Council <br />authorize work to begin on this project now. To that end, we have prepared the attached <br />resolution for the City Council's consideration which authorizes us to begin work. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, I will be in attendance at your April 13 City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
