C aoty of Mank(e <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 />10801 Town Square Drive NE <br />Blaine, MN 55449-8101 <br />wwwxillaine.mn.us <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 />,s <br />09, ter` <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 />
