a very important arterial street in the City street system connecting
. the eastern middle area of the City to I-35; and

sity for the 185th Street extension; and

standards and will provide a much safer railroad crossing in this area
of the City than the present 188th Street railroad crossing now pro-
vides; and

safety to eventually close and remove the 188th Street railroad crossing
once the 185th Street project is completed and new city streets are
constructed south from 185th Street to 188th Street on the east and west
side of the railroad tracks as envisioned by the attached concept street
plan for this area; and

area street location concept plan.

ately so that this street extension and railroad crossing can achieve
complete construction in 1988.

of Lakeville on or before October 1, 1994, with the closing to be
accomplished sooner if the streets on the east and west side of the
railroad tracks between 185th Street and 188th Street are constructed
prior to 1994.

connection to Highway 50 .soon after the street on the east side of the

eliminate an unsafe intersection on Highway 50 near a curve and hill
with limited vision of the intersection.
