signatures required by the Council to hold a bond issue election to build an

for calling for the bond referendum even though all the signatures have not been
collected.

Letter from Dale Hill�an Regardinq I-394 Pedestrian Bridge
Prtayor Anderson introduced the agenda ite�. William Joynes stated that when the
City informed ��nDOT of the Council action taken June 25 eliminating the
pedestrian bridge from the area, MnDOT ceased all design work on the bridge,
stopped ordering material , and reduced the funding. He stated that if the
Council reconsiders their decision and recalls another public hearing there
would not be enough time to include the addition of the bridge back into the
contruction plans. If the bridge is added at a later date the funding would
have to come from the City budget.
The P1ayor opened the meeting for public input and persons present to do so were
afforded the opportunity to express their views thereon.
Dale Hill�an, 4617 Sunset Ridge, stated the Council should consider the decision
to re�ove the bridge because the petition that was circulated originally was
misleading.
Don Wiese, 1500 Alpine Pass, thought the June 25 meeting was going to consider
where the bridge was going to be moved to, not eli�ination of the bridge and
asked the Council to reconsider their decision.
Stuart Ruehle, 501 Natchez Avenue South, stated he and his son use the bridge
alot, likes being able to connect up to the bike paths in t1inneapolis, and would
like the decision reconsidered.
Joan Colwell , 511 Janalyn Circle, would like the decision to reroove the bridge
reconsidered.
Jody Sehlin, 4525 Douglas Avenue, want's the Council to reopen the public
hearing and keep the bridge.
Dorothy Trow, 4632 Sunset Ridge, stated she attended the June 25 meeting and
felt that all sides of the issue were represented and feels the decision should
not be reconsidered.
Joe Breimayer, 4700 Circle Down, feels P�nDOT has not been completely honest in
dealing with the City regarding the bridge and would like the decision reconsidered.
