Mayoral veto stymies East Grand Forks roundabout
East Grand Forks City Council members voted to keep a planned roundabout in the city s long-term transit plans, which kept the project in line for $860,000 worth of federal subtarget funding in 2022. Mayor Steve Gander vetoed that vote last week, and council members failed to override his veto on Tuesday. The roundabout is still in the transit plan and still in line for the federal funding, but, in City Administrator David Murphy s estimation, the failed veto override leaves the city with two options: rush to put a new project in the roundabout s place in time for the 2022 funding, or see if one of three other northwest Minnesota cities in the same program would take East Grand Forks spot in a four-year rotation, which would buy the city time to revisit its decision once again.
