Road project's rising cost gives Minnetonka cold feet
The price of gas, materials and land has inflated the cost of plans to widen part of Shady Oak Road. Shocked by construction costs that have more than tripled, Minnetonka is reconsidering whether it can afford to rebuild Shady Oak Road. After three years of refining a design to please residents and motorists, the Minnetonka City Council last week balked at giving final approval to the Hennepin County project because the cost has risen to $30 million from an estimated $8.6 million in 2004. The council is scheduled to discuss it again on Dec. 17.
