CITY OF- COLUMBIA HEIGHTS <br /> 590 40th Ave. N. E. <br /> (612) 788-9221 <br /> SERVICE IS OUR BUSINESS" <br /> May 19, 1983 <br /> Mr. David Childs <br /> City Manager of St. Anthony <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road <br /> St. Anthony, MN 55418 <br /> Dear Dave: <br /> Re: Reconstruction of Stinson Boulevard <br /> from 45th- Avenue to Silver Lake <br /> As you may recall from our previous conversations, the City of Columbia <br /> Heights is considering reconstruction of Stinson Boulevard at the above <br /> location. In addition, this work would also include storm drainage im- <br /> provements. Unfortunately, however, this roadway is a boundary street <br /> between our two communities. As it stands now, the City of Columbia <br /> Heights does have a right-of-way for its portion of roadway. <br /> The purpose of my letter is to enlist the support of the City of St. <br /> Anthony to jointly undertake these improvements. Obviously, my objective <br /> would be to provide for reconstruction which would result in a typical <br /> roadway with an appropriate right-of-way. In order to achieve this , our <br /> communities must reach agreement with regard to acquisition of a right- <br /> , of-way from the Salvation Army and the assessment of improvement costs <br /> to benefitting properties. In my estimation , if we were to install this <br /> roadway, the Salvation Army property would definitely be benefitted. It <br /> is my understanding that the Salvation Army does not have immediate plans <br /> for selling the property or undertaking development of the parcel . None- <br /> theless , however , I would anticipate that the future will see an eventual <br /> change in land use. The location , the setting, and the frontage on Lake- <br /> shore all contribute to make this parcel an extremely valuable section of <br /> real estate. <br /> By undertaking the improvements to Stinson Boulevard , we hope to achieve <br /> an improved means of handling our storm water runoff and an appropriate <br /> roadway. If we are unable to construct the roadway, the City of Columbia <br /> Heights will be faced with the difficult task of constructing its half of <br /> the street. I trust that you will agree that our mutual interests will be <br /> served by undertaking construction of the entire roadway and drainage <br /> system. <br /> Bruce G.
