Dear Mr. Fingalson:
The Albertville City Council at their regular meeting held this
date, discussed the growth that was projected for north of the
Interstate 94 along County State Aid Highway 19.
It was the opinion of the city council to forward their joint
shared concern for the impact the proposed growth will have on
CR 19. As a rural two lane highway with limited access the growth
may overload the road creating safety and access concerns.
As a city council, we are requesting that the Wright County Board
of Commissioners in cooperation with the County Engineer and the
City of Albertville look at placing this concern into the County's
Five Year Capital Improvement Program as well as the City's. Further,
to take a preliminary engineering look at the stretch of highway
from the freeway to the present city limits to determine what may
work in roadway design, access points, and the like. For your
assistance, I have included a map showing plats and projects in
progress as of May 1996. Please feel free to contact the city
for further information.
Thank you for all of your support and assistance in the past. The
City of Albertville is very pleased with your cooperation and team
spirit.
ON B/~~~0 CITY COUNCIL,
Michael Potter
Mayor
