County State Aid funds are <br /> available which means, the Hennepin County #110 <br /> project will be eliminated. The total project <br /> cost will be approximately $1, 000 , 000 . <br /> Mayor Van Nest: It is irresponsible to consider <br /> rebuilding a four-lane bridge on a two-lane road. <br /> Priorities are not being utilized. It is the <br /> objective of the City of Orono and Minnetonka <br /> Beach not to encourage or approve of a four-lane <br /> structure that would further encourage Hennepin <br /> , County to widen Hennepin County #15. We were assured <br /> that the County #110 project north of Mound would <br /> be continued for study and funding. Adequate two- <br /> lane, not four-lane structures are the wishes of <br /> our citizens when planning local traffic needs in <br /> the Minnetonka area. (Continued) <br />
