Bridges <br /> • I-35W/Highway 96 Interchange Discussion <br /> Beth Engum, Ramsey County, stated that the diverging diamond interchange (DDI) has been <br /> selected as the preferred alternative for the I-35W/Highway 96 interchange. The proposed model <br /> was based on traffic modeling looking forward to the next 30 years. She reviewed the layout with <br /> the Council in a draft format noting that the County has been speaking with surrounding local <br /> business owners. She reported that the County will be coming before the Council on June 30`x' <br /> seeking municipal consent. She provided further information on the proposed interchange, as <br /> well as where trails and sidewalks will be located. She then asked for comments or questions <br /> from the Council. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned if the County or MnDOT would be covering the expense of <br /> the interchange aesthetics. <br /> Ms. Engum indicated that the expense for aesthetics would be borne by both the City of New <br /> Brighton and the City of Arden Hills. <br />
