Commission recommends CUP for Bluestem Center pedestrian path and bridge linking Moorhead and Fargo

The City of Moorhead asked the Planning Commission to recommend approval of a conditional use permit to construct a pedestrian path and bridge within the floodway and flood fringe at the Bluestem Center for the Arts.

Assistant city planner Forrest Steinhoff described the project as a pedestrian connection between Moorhead and Fargo. Staff recommended approval subject to five conditions; no public comments were received during the hearing. Andrea Crabtree, the city's utilities engineer, was available online to answer technical questions. Commissioners moved and voted to recommend approval to the city council.
