At the latest City Council meeting, Ramsey residents saw their local governance in action, kicking off with a thumbs-up on the city's finances from LB Carlson, who declared a clean bill of financial health for 2024. Dogged by consent agenda items, the council sailed through sixteen of them without a hitch, reports the City of Ramsey's social media post.
Public hearings took the spotlight next, with locals tuning in to the fate of Trott Brook Crossing’s right-of-way easements, the homeowner in question found a short-term fix with the sale of the land requiring a reconfigured driveway setup, and Riversbend Sports Bar & Grill snagged a nod for on-sale booze past midnight. In case you missed the play-by-play, the full agenda's up for a deep dive at the city's destiny-hosted website, and you can catch the City Council meeting re-run over on QCTV.
The council wasn't shy about rolling the dice on new developments, putting their seal on resolutions like a trifecta of lots kicking Bunker Lake Crossing's growth into gear, featuring future homes for Taco Bell and potentially Chipotle, flanked by an undecided middle lot. And yes, Taco Bell's own slice of the pie at 14751 Armstrong Boulevard NW is already in the pipeline, touting a drive-through and enough parking for the lunchtime rush, with construction crews poised to break ground as the summer heat rolls in.
Not to be left out of the action, The Waterfront made waves with a grand plan for a new water-play zone, drawing a line in the sand for a July 2026 splashdown in the park. The City Council's unanimous thumb up kickstarts a grand vision for kiddos and park-goers alike who'll be dodging water jets and soaking up the sunshine in a landscape due for a makeover, and if you're itching for behind-the-scenes details, the council's strategy is no secret with the full 2025 plan laid bare on their site.
