LeBlanc, Wayne J <br /> From: LeBlanc, Wayne J <br /> � Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 1:52 PM <br /> To: 'Jim March'; 'Tim Swedberg ;'Mary Capra'; 'Mari Nelson'; 'Linda Broussard Vickers'; 'Dick <br /> Travis ; 'Theresa Brenner ; 'Ray DeVine ; 'Monica Travis' <br /> Cc: LeBlanc, Wayne J <br /> Subject: Communications Suggestion and Summary of Meeting with Senator Jane Krentz <br /> I'm not sure anyone is writing up a summary of the Jane Krentz meeting, so here is an attempt. <br /> But, before getting into that, I'd like to make a communication suggestion. How about City Hall making it <br /> known that there is an Email subscription list and if anyone wants to get on that list, just contact City Hall? <br /> Then, if anyone wants to hear what is going on, they can tap into that list, and vice versa, if anyone has a <br /> suggestion or complaint or anything else, it can become commonly known very quickly. Here are a few possible <br /> guidelines to make it work: <br /> • There is a low tech way to get this started right away (recommended right now, see the next 2 bullets) and a <br /> high tech way to manage a list server. The high tech way (recommended for a long term goal) would be to <br /> establish a city "List Server" and requires research on services available and costs (if any). This kind of <br /> service allows retrieval of past messages and other features. <br /> • The low tech way is to have City Hall keep and "control" an Email list. I recommend we begin this right , <br /> away and could start with the above list (if they are all interested) plus members of all committees. Double <br /> check with the above to make sure that is the Email address they would want used. ! <br /> � City Hall would send out a message, for example, on the first of every month to all people on the list saying, �� <br /> this is the Centerville Email list, if anyone wants to be added ar removed, contact City Hall at <Email i <br /> name> or <phone number>. Anyone sending Email would use the set of names sent for the month. j <br /> I <br /> Here is a summary of the meeting with Jane Krentz. � <br /> I <br /> Attending were Jane Krentz, Christopher Runquist (her assistant), Mari Nelson, Dick Travis, Mary Capra, Linda � <br /> Broussard Vickers, Wayne LeBlanc, and 5 or 6 others from Centerville and Lino Lakes. ' <br /> Wayne had prepared handlouts on a Freeway Interchange suggestion and a Pedestrian Bridge suggestion so I <br /> those were done first. The text of the two suggestions is proided below without the pictures (because the <br /> pictures would make the Email message too big). The Freeway Interchange was well recieved, even by the Lino <br /> Lakes people. The Lino Lakes people complained about Anoka County highways wanting to expand too many <br /> roads in their community, but they were in favor of attempting to move higher speed through type traffic onto <br /> the freeway instead of trying to push it onto some other city street. There was discussion about a study that <br /> found through traffic did NOT contribute to local economies. In a message sent later, Ray Devine seemed to <br /> have a concern about losing business with a freeway bypass. My perception is that Centerville, because it is the <br /> only thoroughfare for roughly 12 miles, will always have more traffic than it wants. A freeway connection up <br /> north, in a best case scenario, is probably 10 to 15 years away. And even with the freeway connection up north, <br /> ' there will still be plenty of people who will prefer to cut through Centerville to get to their destination. The <br /> geography of the area causes Main Street to be heavily used. In any case, all concerns need to be addressed. The <br /> botom line is that Jane's office will send information on the wording of a particular "Resoultion" that needs to <br /> be approved by Centerville, Lino Lakes, Hugo, and perhaps Columbus Township and some others. That will be <br /> the challenge. <br /> Wayne also discussed the need for a Pedestrian Bridge across I35E to connect trails in Hugo and beyond with <br /> trails in the Chain of Lakes Park and beyond. Jane's office will also look into that to suggest next steps. <br /> 1 <br />
