Transportation Update Public Works Director Maurer provided the Council with a transportation update noting that MnDOT will be completing concrete repair on 1-694 near I-35W. He stated that the County is planning a mill and overlay project on Hamline Avenue for the end of May. He indicated that the Highway 10/County Road 96 project has been delayed due to the weather. With reasonable weather, he anticipates this project will be done at the end of June. Councilmember McClung expressed frustration that the Highway 10/County Road 96 intersection is still not completed. Public Works Director Maurer explained that he will convey this message to the County. Councilmember Holden requested that staff speak with the County further about the timing of their upcoming projects in the City of Arden Hills. She did not want to see all three major projects be completed in the same year as this will greatly impact traffic movement in the City. Public Works Director Maurer indicated that he will address this concern with the County and will report back to the Council at a future work session. Mayor Grant recommended that staff draft a letter to the County regarding the Council's concerns with the proposed bridge outings and reconstruction projects planned for 2015. C. Community Cleanup Day Update City Planner Streff stated that the community cleanup day event is scheduled for Saturday, May 17th from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It will be held at the Ramsey County Public Works Facility at 1425 Paul Kirkwold Drive.
