[0:06] [Music] Welcome back to the Monday Morning Minute  for November 4. Let's get 60 seconds on the clock   [0:10] and get started. First, some really exciting news  - the newly reconstructed 4th Street bridge over   [0:14] 694 is now open to vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian  traffic. Improvements include new infrastructure,   [0:20] bus-only lanes for the Metro Gold Line BRT,  and a dedicated shared use pathway. Today,   [0:26] Monday, is the final day for early voting  available at Oakdale City Hall for from 8   [0:30] AM to 5 PM. That means tomorrow is Election  Day. On Election Day, voters must go to their   [0:34] assigned precinct location to vote between  7 AM and 8 PM. Find your precinct location   [0:39] at mnvotes.org. A reminder that the City of  Oakdale has two questions on the ballot to   [0:45] extend the current half-percent local sales  tax for 5 additional years from 2048 to 2053.   [0:50] This extension is requested to cover the funding  gaps caused by inflation for two projects -the   [0:55] expansion and remodel of our Police facility and  the construction of a new Public Works campus. See   [1:00] the link provided for more information. Finally  an update from Public Works - weather permitting,   [1:04] city-wide street sweeping is planned to  begin this week. Ways you can help include:   [1:09] giving the sweepers plenty of room to work; keep  trash cans out of the street on collection day;   [1:13] and move parked cars off of the street. We  appreciate your patience so our crews can   [1:17] do this important work. That's it. I'm out  of time. Have a great week, Oakdale. [Music]
