Mr. Bill Hanley, 8484 West 133rd Street, addressed the Council repre- FUTURE COUNTY senting residents with property abutting future County Road 38, west of ROAD 38 Cedar Avenue. Mr. Hanley said he had also attended a Dakota County Board CONSTRUCTION budget meeting and requested reconsideration of the proposed construction. A 1972 study showed 8,000 trips per day projected for the road which is borderline for requiring a four-lane road. This included zoo traffic which is not rush-hour traffic. The reason given for the road is a cross-county road, but it does not connect to 35-E or go to the Burnsville Center and only connects to Highway 3 on the east. He asked for a proper economic study of all factors affecting the road and believes there is a feasible alternative. They do not oppose the portion of the road east of Cedar Avenue to the Zoo entrance. Residents of his area would be willing to work with the Council to do a proper analysis. John Gretz said future County Road 38 is shown as a minor arterial in the comprehen- sive plans of Burnsville, Apple Valley, and Rosemount and any changes would need to be looked at by all the cities. He reviewed the construction time table for the road as presented to the Council at its September 7, 1983 meeting, and said if alternatives are to be considered, they should be looked at now. Acting Mayor Savanick said a letter, dated October 12, from Eileen Gleim, 13220 Hanover Avenue, opposing the road has also been received. She told Mr. Hanley the Council would consider his comments and advise him when this would be considered further by the Council. John Gretz distributed a memo, dated October 13, 1983, updating construc- tion progress on Cedar Avenue. Weather permitting, the road should open December 1st on schedule.
