The additional money will allow for another 1 % miles of highway construction, he said. Concerning one of the proposed projects in COG's Transportation Plan, Mr. Berndt asked the county to allow some flexibility in approving the plan. He said the West Fargo City Commission may reconsider the possibility of an interchange, as opposed to a highway crossing, at Interstate- 94 and 9th Street. Also, Mr. Berndt said he has discussed the possibility of a future bikeway with Mr. Wieland, and the county may want to consider asking COG to include that in the plan. Ms. Gray addressed the board at this time and provided an update from the June copy of the Draft Metropolitan Transportation Plan by providing a list of Cass County's short and long-range potential future transportation improvement projects. She said COG's plan is updated every five years, and the plan presented today has been recommended for approval by the six local planning commissions, including the Cass County Planning Commission. She said two public hearings on the plan were held in June, and no comments were received on the Cass County projects~ however, comments have since been received on the Red River Corridor Study.
