The matter was tabled during the March 13 meeting of the Worthington City Council, due to new information from MnDOT that had come up after the commission had recommended approval of the permit.
Worthington City Council on Monday is expected to approve almost $4 million of bonds to complete renovation of McCord Park next to its recreation center.
No decision was made, and both MnDOT and city officials agreed that public engagement and comment would be critical in selecting the shape of the final project.
