MnDOT <br /> representatives present explained that the Highway Department plans eventual <br /> . upgrading of this highway. Representatives from each of the cities through <br /> which it runs were present (North Oaks, Vadnais Heights, White Bear, New <br /> Brighton, Shoreview and Arden Hills).

While emphasizing that the Highway <br /> Department has no definite plans and no timetable as yet, Mulcahy suggested he <br /> continue to attend any meetings held to monitor the program.
