<br />City of CenterviJle <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />May 11,2005 <br /> <br />Council Member Terway said he thinks the City needs to look into the future and how the <br />development is going to affect roads and transportation and there is a lot of light rail <br />corridors being discussed and he would rather be proactive than reactive and this says to <br />him that the City is concerned about transportation whether Members support new roads <br />or light rail. <br /> <br />Council Member Lee commented that he read information that ifusers oflight rail had to <br />actually pay for the entire cost of light rail they would not be able to afford tickets. He <br />then said that he thinks light rail is an incredible waste of taxpayer money to the benefit <br />of very few people. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar agreed. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra commented that light rail is not in Centerville and not even on this end of <br />Anoka County. She then said that she does not know if it is completely the answer but <br />she is not so opposed to it because if it is successful then they are more apt to get the <br />Rush Line completed over here. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra directed Staff to prepare a Resolution for Council consideration at the next <br />meeting as it appears there are three in favor and two opposed to portions of it. <br /> <br />10.
