Federal and state grant dollars are also available for <br />projects associated with Old Highway 10 and Snelling Avenue. The City is allocated <br />approximately $200,000 in MSA funds on a yearly basis. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson said that the Snelling Avenue may be a difficult project to fund due to <br />the lack of frontage on Snelling Avenue. <br /> <br />City Engineer Deb Bloom said that it will be difficult for the City to assess home owners due to <br />the lack of frontage and park property. <br /> <br />City Administrator Wolfe said that the City may have to modify its existing assessment policy to <br />prove that thc project will increase the property value of the homes along Snelling Avenue. <br />
