Staff shared with Mr. Arnebeck the results of the Everton Avenue study and proposed development that would push and put a focus on the I -35E and CR4 interchange. Mr. Amebeck was very interested in the study, and said he would take the City's information to his department for further discussion. He stated that that Forest Lake access study would not be extended down to CR4 for a number of reasons.
