Arden Hills <br /> Interstate 694, Highway 10 and County Road 96 <br /> Preliminary Design Issues and Position <br /> There are three separate roadway projects that are being studied in the City that have potential <br /> impacts on residents: <br /> 1. Interstate 694,35E to 35W—MnDOT Project <br /> 2- Grade separation of Highway 10 and County Road 96-Ramsey County project <br /> 3. Preservation of full access for residents and businesses between Highway 10 and County <br /> Road 96 through development of an interchange that includes access to TCAAP from <br /> Highway 10-City project <br /> Projects 42 and #3 above are intertwined due to issues of continuing to provide local access to <br /> residents between two major roadways.
