Work Session Memo <br />February 5, 2010 <br />• Page 3 <br />there is a strong possibility that Ashland's clean-up will be sufficient to accomplish <br />the City's goal of de -listing the site, which will only enhance the marketability of the <br />Northwest Quadrant. <br />Funding Suggestions <br />Staff would recommend that the Council focus our efforts in the following ways: <br />Appropriations <br />1) East Side Ring Road ($1.0M) <br />Transportation Reauthorization <br />The City should continue to advocate for the two projects (Old Highway 8 bridge and <br />Pedestrian Bridge) that were included by Congresswoman McCollum on the High <br />Priority Project list. It should also be noted that these same requests were submitted to <br />Senator Klobuchar's office, but would need to be submitted to Senator Franken's office. <br />It is likely that both Senators will again ask for information either before or after the mid- <br />term elections as they move forward on shaping their transportation authorization bill. <br />• We have asked Dan Fetter from Barr Engineering to attend and help answer any <br />questions about remediation cost estimates. In addition, LGN's email attachment <br />outlines some strategies that the City should consider with regard to our federal <br />legislative efforts. <br />We look forward to the discussion on Tuesday night. <br />Attachments <br />0 <br />
