Example if a street is deemed to have three years of life left and the hauling will cut a year off that life <br />then we should be able to figure out if the $0.15 per ton is a good figure. Also take into account the <br />local property owners as well as all Little Canada property owners will be asked to pay for this street and <br />the hauling company is off somewhere else hauling. The hauler does not pay the property taxes nor the <br />assessments' for repairing streets. <br />I do not believe we should allow this in our city. <br />If we do allow it we should mandate that the traffic use another route away from this intersection. The <br />hauler complained that a route change would not be feasible to his exaggerated estimate of the mileage <br />added to each trip. The City of Little Canada will already be subsidizing the project enough without <br />worrying about the hauling profit margin. <br />In my time on the Council the City has never had a "good or favorable experience" with MDOT. We <br />have taken enough from them. <br />As an alternate I would suggest the city with the most to gain from this project, St. Paul, should be the <br />one to house this cement producing site. There seems to a great amount of vacant land available just <br />south of Maryland Avenue on the west side of 35E, There trips would be shorter as this land in located <br />much closer to the freeway than the land in Little Canada. <br />
