Community Town Hall Meeting - 04/03/04 Minutes - Page 15 Dorothy Ohnsorg, 2523 Maple Lane Ms. Ohnsorg voiced her interest in the future of Old Highway 8 and County Road C-2 and expressed her desire to be involved, along with other area residents, particularly in the aesthetic issues along Old Highway 8. Ms. Ohnsorg noted she was tremendously impressed with the consideration given to minor details along Hamline A venue during discussions of the proposed development, and hoped those same considerations were given her area. Mayor Klausing recognized those residents in attendance at today's meeting from the area along Old Highway 8, and expressed his appreciation for their interest. Marc McCahill, 2164 Rosewood Mr. McMahill identified himself as a "huge fan" of the City's pathways and trail system. Mr. McCahill alerted Councilmembers and staff of the City of Minneapolis' consideration of a partnership with private providers of short-range, high-speed wireless for wi-fi transceivers in parkland areas. Mr. McCahill noted that consideration of a partnership could benefit the City in several ways, through increased revenue and advance communication technologies. Mr. McCahill volunteered to provide additional information to Councilmembers via e-mail. Mayor Klausing reviewed federal government requirements for wireless towers and the City's policy for their placement on city-owned land, rather than private property. Margaret Asenbrenner, 1213 Skillman Ave. W Ms. Asenbrenner encouraged the City to pursue clean up of highway exit and entrance ramps within the City; and the inaccessibility of some of them for private citizens to consider clean up. Mayor Klausing acknowledged Ms. Asenbrenner's comments, shared her concerns, and requested that City Manager Beets review the volunteer recruitment for city- wide clean up currently underway.
