The Mayor announced that the hearing on the repair-improvement of St. Anthony Boulevard from Stinson Boulevard to the East Village limits was open for discussion. The Village Manager informed those present that the repair project as proposed would cost an estimated $3500.00 for materials, and the estimated assessment was 440 per front foot. Mr. Frank Madden complained of trucks on the Boulevard. It was explained that due to the construction on Kenzie Terrace that some trucks were using St. Anthony Boulevard as a bi-pass even though existing signs prohibited truck traffic. Mr. DeWayne Olson, Village Engineer, answered several questions regarding the storm sewer drainage on St. Anthony Boulevard and the future hook up to the Highway #8 drainage system. Mr. Cully Wilde criticized the present drainage system and asked why the drainage from the Crestview Addition could not be divereted. Olson explained that the original system was overloaded causing a back up at the outlet. Mr. Wilde asked the cost of the proposed outlet now being completed in Minneapolis. Mr. Olson stated that the cost of the Master Storm Sewer System was not known at this time. Mr. Charles Kausel explained his personal knowledge of the storm sewer system as it affects his property on Broadway and Highway #8 in Minneapolis. Mr. Kolp asked if a street light could be placed at Roosevelt and St. Anthony Boulevard. Mr. Boytel, Sunset Memorial Cemetery, expressed opposition to the assessment and felt that the Village should share in the improvement East of Highway #8. Mr. Kausel felt that the Village should share in the entire project as proposed. Mr. Robert Dircks asked why lights could not be placed on St. Anthony Boulevard as are in the rest of the Village. He did not feel ornamental lighting was necessary. Mr. Wilde stated that he felt the Boulevard was an arterial street and not an ordinary residential street. Mr. Kausel stated that he didn't use the street, that he used the alley way.
