Item 5.2. <br /> <br /> Howard R, Green Oompany <br /> GONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />July 21, 2000 <br />File: 806610J-0325 <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />AUBURN STREET CUL-DE-SAC ISSUE <br />CITY OF ELK RIVER, MINNESOTA <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />Based on a petition received from several residents along Auburn Street, a public hearing is <br />scheduled for Monday, July 24, 2000, regarding construction of a cul-de-sac on Auburn Street in <br />an effort to reduce the amount and speed of traffic in the area. This particular issue has a long <br />history, going back well over two years. We, together with the Police Department, have <br />conducted surveys, informational meetings, speed studies, and an origin/destination study. I <br />have gone on record in the past earlier this year not in favor of constructing a cul-de-sac on <br />Auburn Street. My position on this issue remains unchanged. <br /> <br />Following is a chronological list of the events that have happened in the discussion and analysis <br />of this issue. Attached are many support documents for these various events. <br /> <br />1.
