CONCERNS REGARDING THE NEW RIVER BRIDGE
The purpose of the Joint Meeting was to discuss the differences of viewpoint
between the two cities regarding the proposed new river bridge and to try and
adopt a unified position. The Stillwater City Council favors the proposed
southern corridor and Oak Park Heights favors the proposed central corridor.
Another issue brought out is the proposed Mn/DOT plan to lower Highway 36 in
order to bring it up to freeway status.
After much discussion, the Stillwater City Council stated they would
recommend, at their May 19 Regular Meeting, to amend their previous resolution
that any alignment of the proposed southern corridor is satisfactory; and
also, that Highway 36 alignment be left as is.
The Oak Park Heights Council stated they would recommend, as an alternative to
the central corridor preference of the plan, the southern corridor with a
central or southern alignment; and would also recommend that the alignment of
Highway 36 be left as is.
Motion by Councilmember Opheim, seconded by Councilmember Funke to adjourn the
meeting at 8:15 P.M. All in favor.
