Minutes, Lake Elmo City Council July 3, 1979 page four (Engineer's Report, Hardy's Driveway, continue) The Engineer asked why the Council would want_a footbridge, if the goal of the program is to eliminate restrictions to the channel. He said the bridge would simply take the place of the culvert, as a restriction. Pott suggested the Engineer check out an existing box culvert downstreunto see if it could be used for a foot bridge footing; and report back to the Council C. MSA 5—year plan. The Council discussed several alternatives for staging construction and financing the 5--year MSA street improvement plan (for 45th, Julep, 17th,and Keats Avenues from Jane Road to Hwy. 36.)
