Staff asked for final comments or <br />changes. Receiving no changes or revisions, Staff directed URS, the project coordinator, <br />to prepare the final plans for adoption. <br /> <br />August 26, 2002 <br />The City Council approves resolution No. 5824 adopting the County Road 10 <br />Redevelopment Project Plans as prepared by URS. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion <br />The next step in following through with the plan that was adopted in August of 2002, <br />is to work with Ramsey County to develop an “Implementation Plan”. This plan will <br />outline the steps necessary to make the County Road 10 Redevelopment Plan a <br />reality. <br /> <br />A staff review of the County Highway 10 corridor considerations yielded the <br />following list: <br />1. Survey road right-of-way <br />Staff recommends that this occur as soon as possible. An engineering firm <br />could be selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. <br /> <br />2. Develop plan for pathway/bikeway <br />Having an over all plan will made it easier to eliminate the pathway portion <br />of the plan. It will also ensure continuity throughout the corridor and <br />eliminate design problems associated with a piece – meal approach.
