program in the 2000-2005 CIP and feels that there should be a revision in
priorities. Because of potential redevelopment that may occur west of Shady
Oak Rd and planned. reconstruction of Shady Oak Rd, it does not seem
feasible to consider the reconstruction of the alley between Shady Oak Rd and
the City limits to the west. Amore pressing need to consider is the alley in
the 300 block between 19th Ave N and Hilltop Park. All affected
neighborhoods will be notified.
Council Member Johnson moved and Council Member Brausen seconded a
motion to approve a revision in the 2001 -2005 CIP allowing staff to delete
the alley between Shady Oak Rd and City limits, north of Bradford Rd, from
consideration in the Citywide Concrete Alleys program for 2001 and to
replace it with the alley west of 19th Ave N, north of 3`d St N, currently under
consideration for the year 2002. A poll of the vote was as follows: Council
Member Brausen, aye; Council Member Jensen, aye; Council Member Hesch,
aye; Council Member Johnson, aye; Mayor Maxwell, aye. The motion carried
unanimously.
