There are programs for this type of signing; <br />however, they apply only to rural highways. The area around T.H. 51 and County Road <br />C is considered urban. <br /> <br />It is Mn/DOT's responsibility to turn property back to private ownership so that it can be <br />placed on the tax rolls when it is identified as no longer needed for highway purposes. <br />Mn/DOT always includes the city in making this decision and offers excess land to the <br />city before making it available to private entities. We note that in this particular case, sight <br />lines to the restaurants could have been retained by the city when it issued the necessary <br />building permits. <br /> <br />Thank you for bringing this matter to OJJr attention. We apologize for not getting an <br />answer to you by February 24th, the date of the hearing. With the reorganization of the <br />Metro District traffic office, Ms. Bieringer's responsibilities relating to highway signing have <br />been assigned to me. I can be reached at the above number if there are any questions. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />) ,!/ <br /> <br />~/¿;~ \(/f?::õ <br />J. S.
