FREEWAY 518 Kraft present. 645-1000
a. Councilmembers',questioned how binding an agreement
with DOT would be. Berlin advised that our legal
dept—opinion was that DOT does not need a written
agreement with Iowa City. (Also DOT legal understanding.)
I' b. deProsse proposed that the legal staff of DOT, in
writing specifically state what they.think the legal
requirements are with regard to any participation Iowa,,.
City might have in the 518 project, be it the alignment,
interchanges, relocation of roads, installation of
frontage roads, placement of intersections. Erdahl
added, 'control of city streets that 'connect'. .
C. Roberts suggested a compromise, the State put in the
sewer line under the freeway during construction, at
their expense, alleviating some of the alignment
concerns.
d. University has said that their problems are internal
f� say interchange won't help or hinder.
