This meeting was concluded with the plan for a follow-up meeting once Mn/DOT had <br /> specific cost for the widening both on the east and the west. That follow-up meeting was <br /> not held in a timely fashion due to the State shutdown during the early summer of 2011. <br /> After the shutdown was ended I contacted Mark Lindeberg twice to remind him that we <br /> needed to complete the process of determining a side for the bridge widening with no <br /> response. In the meantime, at a public preconstruction meeting for the I-694 project <br /> hosted by Mn/DOT construction personnel at Arden Hills City Hall it was stated that the <br /> bridge would be widened to the east. <br /> Finally on November 8, 2011, Mark Lindeberg scheduled a follow-up meeting with <br /> Arden Hills and Shoreview to conclude the process. At that meeting and in a November <br /> 22, 2011, e-mail, which is attached, Mark provided the actual estimate from the Mn/DOT <br /> Bridge Department. The cost for widening the bridge to the east is estimated at$610,000 <br /> while widening to the west is estimated at$1,005,000 due to the reasons outlined above. <br /> The three of us agreed that it was most cost effective to widen the Lexington Avenue <br /> Bridge to the east. I did, however, express displeasure to Mark Lindeberg at the way this <br /> process occurred. <br /> City Council Meeting <br /> C:\Users\sonj a.klingberg\Desktop\1-17-12LexingtonBridge Widening.doc <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
