of Minnesota Avenue South from Shawnee Park to Missouri Route 74 1395.84 feet, in
the City of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, commonly known as Minnesota Avenue
Fxtension, the hearing was opened. Mr. Charles Blattner appeared before the Council
stating he had no objections to the improvements on South Minnesota Avenue. However,
he expressed concern that the bridge over Cape LaCro� Creek on North Minnesota that
had previously been removed needed to be replaced because of the entrance to and exit
from the new Route 74. Mr. J. Ronald Fischer, City Manager, stated the staff would
look into the issue and make a presentation to the City Council at a future date. There

Mr. Tom �cker of the Southeast Missouri Regional Planning and Economic
Development Commission gave a presentation to the Council regarding the Transit Study
for Cape Girardeau. The present taxi coupon program is meeting the needs of
appro�mately 60 percent of the handicapped, elderly and other disadvantagedin the area.
He recommended that the City continue to investigate the options with 5outheast
Missouri State University and the Community Counseling Center. In addition, a fle�ble
fixed route system needs to be considered which would serve more needs of the people
in the area. This system could be accomplished for approximately $280,000 to$300,000
per year using three small van units. He also suggested the City look into the one-half
cent transportation tax at some point in the future, which would generate approxirnately
$2.5 million per year.
