515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: July 17, 1998 <br />RE: Arcade Street Bridge Supervisory Panel Recommendation <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scal=e <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R Hanson <br />As you know, the Task Force has been meeting regarding the design for the new Arcade Street <br />bridge. Models were on display in our Council chambers for the past number of weeks. Three <br />artists were selected as finalists as part of this process. The Arcade Street Bridge Advisory Panel <br />unanimously recommended that Ramsey County pursue implementation of the Arcade Street <br />bridge proposed by the team of Cliff Garten and Aaron Parker. (Picture of design proposal <br />attached.) <br />Mr. Jim Tolaas, Engineer with Ramsey County Public Works, has asked our City if we would <br />like to make a recommendation regarding the bridge design. This recommendation will be <br />forwarded to the County Board of their consideration. I believe the Public Works Department <br />would prefer us to ratify the proposal as endorsed by the Arcade Street Bridge Advisory Panel. <br />If the Council is comfortable in doing so, a resolution to that effect should be adopted at <br />Wednesday's meeting. If not, we can offer our own comments or take no action on this matter. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Enclosure <br />Page 57 <br />
