All aye. Motion Carried. CSAH 8 / 140TH STREET ALIGNMENT The considered a letter from the City Engineer recommending that the City Council consider aligning the proposed 140th Street from TH61 to Frenchman Road, instead of from TH61 to Elmcrest Avenue. This would provide a more direct connection from CR8, east of Forest Boulevard, to 35E. This issue has been raised due to a developer's interest in platting a portion of the property requiring such a road alignment. After discussion of the proposal, it was agreed that a joint meeting be held with Hugo's neighboring communities. Miron made motion, Goiffon seconded, directing City staff to put together a proposed agenda for a tentative meeting with adjoining communities. All aye. Motion Carried.
