13 <br /> hub for the region. One of the primary points of discussion was the <br /> fact that Central Avenue passes through Columbia Heights' downtown area <br /> 3 and University through Fridley's. A compromise of the two interests <br /> 4 would run the corridor in a northwesterly direction from Central to <br /> 5 University which appears to be the best solution from a ridership <br /> 6 viewpoint, but would be the most cost effective and would seem to have <br /> 7 the least impact when it came to land which must be taken.

A Highway 10 corridor <br /> 9 which had been originally looked at would not have the ridership the <br /> 10 other corridors have, the Councilmember said. He added that any long <br /> 11 range plans to head up to Anoka were too many years away for serious <br /> 12 consideration at this time. The Councilmember said he considered the <br /> 13 study was moving along quite satisfactorily and promised to keep the <br /> 14 other Councilmembers informed about the Committee's progress. <br /> 15 Youth Service Bureau Activities and Attendance at International Trade <br /> 16 Luncheon Recounted by Councilmember Marks <br /> 17 The Councilmember indicated meetings of the Board of Directors of the <br /> 18 above continued to take a lot of his time.

He said the District #282 Superintendent had <br /> 33 suggested the Council and School Board annual get-together might also <br /> 34 be held in conjunction with that dinner. There was general agreement <br /> 35 that it would be better for the Council and School Board to hold that <br /> 36 meeting in a more informal setting like the Salvation Army Retreat <br /> 37 Center where the Council had hosted last year's dinner. <br /> 38 DEPARTMENTS AND COMMITTEES REPORTS <br /> 39 The Hance & LeVahn report of cases they had prosecuted for the City in <br /> 40 the Hennepin County District Court up to and including October 5th was <br /> 41 ordered filed as informational. <br /> 42 Councilmember Makowske noted that the St. Anthony/New Brighton Chem <br /> 43 Council September 20th minutes had advocated expanding the City Police <br /> Department by at least one full time officer, which indicated to her <br />
