POLICY AGENDA
UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF THE TUNNEL UNDER LARPENTEUR AVENUE ADJACENT
TO THE UNIVERSITY GOLF COURSE
Administrator Hoyt reported that the University Golf Course and Ramsey County were
proceeding with plans to install a tunnel underneath Larpenteur Avenue. This tunnel
would allow golfers to complete all 18 holes of golf without having to cross over
Larpenteur Avenue. The tunnel would be paid for by the county and the university and
managed by the university.
After a discussion regarding safety concerns associated with the tunnel, the council
directed Hoyt to find out if the lighting in the tunnel would be on all the time or if if
would be on only while the golf course was open.
