<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />NORTH METRO MAYORS <br />ASSOCIATION <br /> <br />August 17, 2005 <br /> <br />Mr. Paul Czech, Principle Planner <br />Mn/DOT Metro Division <br />1500 West County Road B-2 <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />Subject: Transportation System Plan Comments <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Czech: <br /> <br />Following are comments on behalf of the member cities in the North Metro <br />Mayors Association on the Draft Transportation System Plan in response to <br />Patrick Hughes' invitation dated June 30, 2005.

Upgrading of the TH 10 Corridor between TH 610 and St. Cloud <br /> <br />TH 610 <br />The draft TSP lists TH 610 completion in the 2015-2023 era (Policy 6, p 70, <br />et.a!.).
