• Page 6 July 14, 1997 Mounds View City Council Pete Hawkins, 3008 County Road I, stated he is concerned about the traffic volume and the semi-truck traffic on County Road I. He feels if this road is being turned back to the city, it should become a city road, not a major highway. Additionally, the property marker on his property is not indicative of the corner of his property. The real boundary is out in County Road I under the pavement. Mayor McCarty stated the property lines will all be established as a part of the project. Mr. Ulrich explained that the city cannot restrict trucks from using the road as it is a MSA road and vehicles of heavy volume pay the most sales and gas tax, thereby providing a good portion of the funds. One solution maybe to call the trucking companies and ask them to have their truckers use the major highway system instead of using the residential streets.
