Personal Ccmanent -- Meridian Road
Councilman Nystul requested to enter in the record his opinion on the project since he
had failed to do so at the time the project was approved.
"I feel that the project ought to be one of the Off -System Urban and funded by
the Federal and State dollars because logically to rue the North Meridian
Section would be extended down at least to Center Street and hopefully all the
way to the corner taking off to Foy's Lake."
"I realize that project was proposed several years ago and the residents were
apposed to it but I think the traffic and the realism that it is an arterial
and anywhere we can get dollars other than ours would be more appropriate."
"I am just concerned that digging into that bog is going to be miserable."
Public Works Director Harmer reported we have used our Urban Funds through 1991 and
explained that we couldn't wait that long on this project. There will be plenty of
projects remaining when the funding becomes available in 1992.
