Vill.agea County and State Highway officials.'- This plan contemplate* the following: i.- A 300 -foot right of way - -which is ample and can be narrowed at - certain points to eliminate taking portions of existing homes. -.. zThis right of way would include all service drives; as proposed highway should be a limited access road,, 2. Provision for six moving lanes of traffic, with a center division; original center division to be 37 feet wide, with two moving lanes on either sides.

Mr. Bogen inquired as to status of some of his lots in "Roberts Estate "„ The plan shows these lots to be North of the proposed route; and he was told that he could build on them. Developer Haverly asked for assurance that the route presented, would be the final route of the highway. Mr. Hyde reported that no absolute and final assurance can be given, but that the alignment has been approved by the State Highway Department, and that -the County Highway Department has accepted the point of intersection on the - center line of present trunk highway 100 and proposed 62nd Street Crosstown Highway as a definite reference point for future construction of the proposed Crosstown Highway. _Mr. Paul Swanson, 6225 Ryan Ave., took exception to Mr. Hyde's statements regarding approval by State and County Highway Departments, saying he had talked with both departments within the week, and both departments had informed him approval �..� had not been given; Mr. Hyde then,-read letters of approval, dated December 29 and December 30, respectively, from J,, P, Pederson, Hennepin County Engineer, Wand t; P.'
