This project was looked at about 3 years <br />ago. There are several factors to be considered with regard to <br />this item. It would cost the City approximately $750,000 for the <br />planning, construction and land acquisition of this structure. <br />Then, there is the question of maintenance, snow removal. There <br />is also a federal and state law that states that for the disabled <br />the ramp has to be uncovered with a 1 foot rise 20 feet long.. This <br />would mean 360 ft. high on each end. There are also three jurisdic- <br />tions involved with regard to a walkway of this nature in this <br />location - Mounds View, Ramsey County because of Long Lake Road <br />and the State of Minnesota because of Highway 10. <br />2) Mayor Linke wanted to commend Public Works on the fine job <br />of snow removal during the snowstorm that began October 31st. <br />Mayor Linke toured the City and found the entire City plowed <br />completely by 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Linke stated the crew did <br />a "Helluva Job". Mayor Linke was in Brooklyn Park on Sunday <br />and on their major roads they had only made one pass. Mayor <br />Linke stated he is very proud of the Public Works Department <br />and noted how efficiently the roads were taken care of during the <br />storm. <br />
