MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 8, 1977 Page 3 Engineer Brad Lemberg reviewed the designated state aid streets for Falcon Heights. We are under desig- nated by a little more that a quarter of a mile and the maintenance payments we receive are figured on the mileage of designated streets, The city receives maintenance payments at the rate of $1,500 per mile per year.

Designated streets are: Garden: Snelling to Hamline, Pascal: all the way through, Hoyt to Roselawn, Crawford: Arona to Snelling, Arona: Hoyt to Roselawn.
