AGENDA ITEMS <br /> A. County Road 96/Interstate 35W Interchange Design Discussion <br /> Assistant City Engineer Anderson reported that Ramsey County is taking the lead on the <br /> County Road 96/Interstate 35W interchange design. The County has assembled a project <br /> management team (PMT) and is moving ahead with preliminary design of the interchange. A part <br /> of the preliminary design is to look at traffic control options and compare the alternatives. <br /> Assistant City Engineer Anderson indicated that the alternative that seems to be the preferred <br /> choice related to intersection control and bridge layout is referred to as a diverging diamond <br /> interchange (DDI). Staff has asked that Ramsey County provide the City Council with information <br /> on this style of interchange. On April 22nd, Ramsey County attended a City Council work session <br /> in New Brighton to share this information with their Council. In the coming months after the <br /> design progresses, Ramsey County will return with a fully developed plan to discuss municipal <br /> consent. He noted that Beth Engum with Ramsey County was in attendance to give a short <br /> presentation and to answer questions that the City Council may have. <br />
