Ideas floated for fixing Freeman's Bridge Road

GLENVILLE — Residents' ideas to improve the look and safety of Freeman's Bridge Road range from constructing a roundabout at its intersection with Route 50 to finding a way to remove the railroad crossing that splits the corridor in half. "You really need more lanes; you need sidewalks," said Jim Mastroianni, who owns the Glenville Sportsplex just south of the railroad crossing, during a planning workshop Wednesday at the Glenville Senior Center . Mastroianni has operated at the Freeman's Bridge Road location for nearly 25 years. "It's a lot busier than it was. A lot needs to change," he said. Mastroianni was among about 50 people who turned out for the workshop, which was part of the town's $50, 000 Complete Streets study of what can be done to improve the corridor. A focus is being placed on making the road more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly. The goal of Wednesday's meeting was to gather ideas that can be studied and possibly included...

Legal battle over Woodbury's development fees could echo across the metro

See more of the story Growing suburbs’ strategy of paying for new roads and other infrastructure by charging builders fees for development could be upended by a legal challenge before the Minnesota Court of Appeals. A developer’s lawsuit against Woodbury arguing the city’s roadway fee on new subdivisions is illegal has attracted competing court filings from the metro area homebuilders association and the League of Minnesota Cities . At issue is whether developers or taxpayers should bear the brunt of road projects that are needed to accommodate growth but are located outside of a new subdivision. “I’d say this is a landmark case,” said David Siegel, executive director of the Builders Association of the Twin Cities. “Probably one of those rare cases that comes along every decade or so that we think has really powerful ramifications across the Twin Cities.” Woodbury charges developers a “major roadway assessment” fee to help cover road improvements outside of a subdivision, such ...

Project provides low-income housing in Alexandria

At its Monday meeting, the Alexandria City Council set a public hearing for Oct. 9 to consider the request. Unique Development LLC is proposing to eventually build four 15,000-square-foot buildings on McKay Avenue, between Sixth and Seventh avenues. Each building would house six three-bedroom units, five four-bedrooms and one five-bedroom. The TIF that's being requested is only for the first phase of the project. The total cost of all four phases would amount to $6 million. The apartments would be available for households with incomes that are 60 percent or less than Douglas County's median income. Also, restrictions will be placed on the rents so they won't exceed those allowed by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency , according to Nicole Fernholz, director of the Alexandria Area Economic Development Commission . The property is owned by LifeRight Outreach, a nonprofit organization, and is currently tax-exempt. The development would increase the value of the land and bui...

Early arrivals for the 2017- 18 academic year began last weekend at Storrs. Freshmen start moving in to residence halls at 7 a.m. Friday, followed by upperclassmen and transfer students over the weekend.
