Box 66 Mimicipal Offioes <br /> ' Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 <br /> Dear Dick: j <br /> � <br /> Our patience and persistenoe concerning the Arcola Bridge reconstruction, <br /> planned for 1980, appear to have been rewarded. Art J. Lee, Associate <br /> Cotmty Ac�ninistrator and chief hig�aay engineer has verbally assured me <br /> that at least one lane of traffic will be maintained. <br /> Co�mty staff has been properly con�erned about safety, engineering, and <br /> expense/tax aspects of this needed reconstruction and had persuac7ed ire of <br /> the validity of their positi�. Efforts and time e�ended by officials <br /> from the cities of Or�no and Minnetr�nka Beach, especially those of Mayors <br /> Van Nest and Jahnson, Cotmcilman Bearg, and yourself, were esse.ntial and <br /> persuasive. °Zt2ose of us close to this project are well aware of the <br /> arg�rents, oonsiderations, and trade�ffs inwlved in this decision. I <br /> hape events will justify our c�clusions. <br /> Hennepin Cotmty will att�t to co�lete reoonstniction during the 1980 <br /> �nstructicai seasan. Zb cb so, extended wr�rk hours probably will be re- <br /> quired and we sho�ald anticipate ooarQlaints about noise. Further, no �tt�r <br /> how well we plan, one lane of traffic will cause c3elays and frustrati�s for <br /> our constituents, and aonstruction requirerrents probably will.occasion tAtal <br /> closure for a few days at a time (i.e. tr� awid vibratioa�s d�ing concrete <br /> pouring setting �) . These matters and others will be detailed to you by our <br /> pmfessional �staff in ensuing w�eks. <br /> If you have further questions, kindly let me ]Qx7w. <br /> Sin ly, <br /> E. F.
