� EN HILLS <br />March 26, 2012 <br />Mr. Joe Lux <br />Planning Specialist <br />Ramsey County Public Works <br />1425 Paul Kirkwold Drive <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br />RE: Lexington Avenue (CSAH 51) <br />TED Funding Application <br />Dear Mr. Lux: <br />The City of Arden Hills strongly supports the County's application for Transportation and <br />Economic Development (TED) funding for capacity and turn lane improvements on <br />Lexington Avenue from approximately 500 feet south of I-694 to 600 feet north of <br />County Road F. As you are aware, Mn/DOT is under construction on an interstate <br />project on I-694 that will eliminate eastbaund I-694 access at Hamline Avenue thus <br />forcing more traffic to the Lexington Avenue interchange. This issue was a key point in <br />our City's negotiation with Mn/DOT over granting Municipal Consent. As you know, it <br />took almost nine months for our City Council to adopt a Municipal Consent resolution. <br />This was done only after Mn/DOT agreed to include capacity and turn lane <br />improvements on the Lexington Avenue bridge in their project. Your project will <br />continue these very important improvements. <br />Once again, the City strongly supports the County's application. If we can be of any <br />further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us. <br />Sincerel <br />� r«u��.� <br />Terry aurer, P.E. <br />Public Works Director <br />City of Arden Hills � 1245 West Highway 96 � Arden Hills, MN � SSll2-5743 <br />Phone 651.792.7800 � Fax 651.634.5137 � www.ci.arden-hills.mn.us <br />
