Arden Hills City Council, December 20, 2013, Pg. 2 <br /> Question: More details on the two roads from I and how it is planned for <br />those to be engineered with the current configuration of 35W, Cty Rd I, and <br />wildlife corridor. <br />Thumb Road and CR I – <br />Intersection spacing is an issue at the location of the current frontage road. The <br />County will study design options that will allow for full access at the intersection <br />to the ramps, CR I, and Rice Creek Parkway. <br />Fairview/East Access Road and CR I – <br />Land swaps with various agencies and a separate environmental review would <br />be required to accommodate the roadway. <br />Thumb Road, Spine Road and I-35W – <br />This intersection would tie the Spine Road/CR H together with the northbound <br />off-ramp, northbound on-ramp of I-35W, and the Thumb Road. Because of <br />intersection spacing constraints, the angle the Spine Road connects to this <br />intersection, and the need for 5 legs of the intersection, a roundabout would be <br />the likely configuration. Preliminary operations analysis has been done and has <br />been found to effectively handle expected volumes and maintain an acceptable <br />level of service. <br />Question: Who is going to pay for and maintain these roads? <br />Because the Spine Road, Thumb Road, and Fairview/I Access Road all connect <br />County facilities, the County is investigating funding possibilities. <br />Question: Did not understand why the thumbnail needs two entrances for <br />the corporate campus. It seems that the main Medtronic office building off <br />of Central near 694 only has one entrance. Are there huge back-ups there? <br />Perhaps someone could look into. <br />Medtronic Parkway connects the Campus to Central Avenue to the East as well <br />th <br />as 7 Street to the West. This essentially gives the campus access to University <br />Ave and Central Ave/MN 65 and subsequently, access to the Interstate at two <br />separate points. <br />
