Stroeder had proposed to tighten up the AB Transportation
alignment to address some of the curves This proposed

one foot at one end of the project would result in an
approximate nine foot adjustment at the other end of the
project It was agreed to recommend to the Municipal
Planning Commission that any new developments be required
to locate further back from roads. This would address dust
problems and possible road widening problems
