Letter to the Editor: <br /> SUPPORT THE PROPOSED PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE IN MOUNDSVIEW <br /> The City Council of Mounds View is currently discussing a proposed pedestrian bridge <br /> over Highway 10 at Long Lake Road. This would be a community development that <br /> would benefit citizens of all ages, from Youth to Senior Citizens, from joggers to <br /> bicyclst's, anyone who would like to cross Highway 10 in any mode other than an <br /> automobile. This is an enhancement to the community that we can not afford to let pass <br /> by, especially since we have a$480,000 grant to cover the majority of the cost. <br /> The City Council is hesitant to use funds set aside for community development, because they <br /> are not sure this would help the community??? The city would need to contribute $120,000 to <br /> fulfill their portion of the grant requirements. The city has a fund set aside for community <br /> developement, call TIF. NO TAX DOLLARS ARE NEEDED. <br /> Please show your support for the Pedestrian Bridge by letting the City Council know <br /> that this is a community enhancement that is badly needed. Each year, there are several <br /> dangerous mishaps as people try to cross Highway 10 on foot or bicycle. Talk to <br /> council members, phone them, write them letters or even better, come to the City <br /> Council Meeting on August 7th to voice your opinion for the Pedestrian Bridge. <br /> Pam Starr <br /> Mounds View Park and Recreation Commitee <br />
