NOTICE OF HEARING
ON PROPOSED CHANGES
TO OFFICIAL MAP
The City Council of the City of Hopkins will hold a public hearing on
Thursday, November 8, 1984, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers to consider
placement of the following property on the Official Map:
The abandoned Burlington Northern Railroad line from
Second Street North to the northerly City Limit.
The Zoning and Planning Commission has recommended to the City Council
on September 25, 1984, that the railroad right -of -way be added to the Official
Map. A variety of uses are possible for this property. It could be upgraded
as a vehicular roadway off of Second Street North to provide an additional
egress point for the residential neighborhood north of Red Owl. Another
consideration would be for the improvement of this property as a bikeway -path-
way and thus provide a possible connection with such a system being contemplated
for St. Louis Park.
Placement of the railroad property on the Hopkins Official Map would give
the City first option to purchase the property, at the time it becomes available,
to undertake one of the above uses, or some other public use.
Any questions can be directed to Jim Kerrigan, 935 -8474.
To be published in the HOPKINS SUN - SAILOR, October 15, 1984.
