Council met in special session to consider the advis,biiity of changing the site
of the proposed bridge across Luke St. Croix from its present location on E.Chest-
nut 3tr_et to the suggested location on and in line with E. 1' 1ie_ry Street.
The question of the relative merits of these two locations was freely and thour-
u-zhly discussed.It was pointed out and hyreed that the present plan as proposed
by the xinnesota Highway Department of crossing on Chestnut Street with a bridge
starting on the rest bank and extending out a distant= of only 710 feet and fill -
ink: the rest of the way to the east bank a distance of 1000 feet •--,uld greatly tend
to destroy,for all time,the -side expanse of water that is now,and sh.uld be for all
time,Stillwater's lake front,one of the cities greatest assets as well as that of
the entire St. Croix vntleyand that such an undert,,.kin€{ would be a great mistake
and must be avoided if •possible.
It was further arreed-that the site on 1. Mulberry Street is physically much more
adaptable and if chosen in preference to tLe Chestnut Str• et location the necessity
for des royin; the --ter front rill be ili,r•in i d and traffic conditions for Still-
water and the country side enerally roold. b better s.t.ed.
