7 <br /> ;,. 10801 Town Square Drive NE <br /> Blaine, MN 55449-8101 <br /> City of Blaine www.ci.blaine.mn.us <br /> June 22, 2005 <br /> Mr. Kurt Ulrich <br /> City Administrator <br /> City of Mounds View <br /> 2401 County Road 10 <br /> Mounds View, MN 55112 <br /> Dear Kurt, <br /> It has come to my attention that the City of Mounds View, at an upcoming City Council meeting, <br /> will vote to rename County Road 10 to Mounds View Boulevard. I am dismayed that even after <br /> a joint meeting with all of the players located along the corridor(Spring Lake Park, Blaine, Coon <br /> Rapids, Anoka and Ramsey Counties) who made a cooperative effort to suggest possible <br /> alternative names that the City of Mounds View has decided, on its own, to consider renaming <br /> the road after itself. <br /> Because both Blaine and Spring Lake Park opted for different names does not mean that we -.- <br /> • cannot work together to come up with a name that is not self-serving to one community over any <br /> of the others. We are neighboring communities and we need to work together on issues that will <br /> impact all of us. The City of Blaine and Anoka County have proven this by working with <br /> Mounds View on the proposed Medtronic project, as well as other transportation projects such as <br /> County Road 10, US 10, and Interstate 35W. I would hope that this spirit of cooperation will <br /> continue in this renaming effort. <br /> Please reconsider working with Blaine and the other players along the County Road 10 corridor <br /> to rename this road to a name we can all be proud of and that will highlight our continued <br /> cooperative achievements. Thank you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Dick Swanson, Blaine City Council Member <br /> County Road 10 Renaming Committee Member <br /> cc: Jim Ericson, City of Mounds View <br /> Barb Nelson, City of Spring Lake Park • <br /> Blaine City Council <br /> • Curt Larson, City of Blaine <br />
