From the transcript

Hanson, representing North Lakes Community Council. In Cole's presentation, and he referenced the official streets and highways plan, there's actually 2 routes in that plan. There is a minor connector at the southern route, and there's a northern connector— I'm sorry, a major connector along the northern route. We and the Fish Hook Council strongly support timely construction of a southern route minor collector road between Engstrom and Trunk, and it should have been built years ago. We recently signed off on a joint community council resolution.
