C. Correspondence on Delay of Resurfacing CSAH17 The Council received a copy of a letter sent to Steve Pott from Brian Gage, Washington County Design Engineer, informing him that the proposed project to resurface Lake Elmo Avenue this summer has been postponed.

The public involvement process will begin in late 1998. The project will be rescheduled based on the outcome of this process, but not sooner than the summer of 1999.
