Jim Bergstrom, 8400 Red. Oak Drive expressed. concern. that the statement n iie in +he resolution was not strong enough in discouraging an interchange at Red Oak Drive. He felt that a very definite and strong statement should be made, inT•orming the DOT exactly that the citizens and Council did not want the Red Oak interchange. Mr. Bergstrom also mentioned that he had been told by reliable authorities that trucking firms from Roseville intend to build in the new industrial park in Spring Lake Park and consequently if the Red Oak interchange was put in, there would be heavy trucking traffic in the neighborhood. Mayor Pickar stated that he felt the resolution said the same thing the Citizen's Group was trying to say, but just in different words. Mr. Bergstrom again stated he wanted a stronger statement, but if the Council did feel they were saying the same thing as he wanted, then he would go along with then. Councilmember Baumgartner stated that until he had examined other alternatives, he did not feel he could nake a stronger statement than what was already in the resolu- tion.
