Oakdale City Council Designates New State Aid Routes to Maximize Funding
- Meeting Overview:
In the latest Oakdale City Council meeting, a notable decision was made to designate approximately one mile of local roadways as new state aid routes. This action aims to optimize the community’s allocation from the state aid gas tax, following significant local development, particularly in the Willowbrooke area. The roads designated include 45th Street from 120 to Granada and Granada Avenue from 45th up to 50th Street. These sections were previously state aid routes but had been removed for a major interchange project in 2017. The re-designation comes as the city now has available mileage to allocate and seeks to ensure funding maximization.
Another discussion revolved around nuisance trees infected with emerald ash borer. A resolution was passed confirming a nuisance at a specific property on Granada North, requiring action by the property owner. The Council decided to defer action on other properties until they align with forthcoming code revisions, reflecting discussions in a prior workshop.
Other notable updates included the approval of work plans for city commissions, with particular commendation for the Tree Board’s recent discussions. Additionally, the city’s public engagement initiatives were highlighted, such as the upcoming Coffee with a Cop event and the first-ever EcoFair scheduled for later this month. The EcoFair promises educational opportunities on environmental topics and is open to the public.
