ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL APRIL 28, 20143 <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson <br />provided the Council with an update on the US10/Highway <br />96 road construction project. He explained that work continues on the signal and the pedestrian <br />crossings. He reported that the City has expressed concern with the evening rush hour traffic <br />heading eastbound along County Road 96. It was his understanding that a Ramsey County Sheriff <br />would be directing traffic in the evening hours. At this time, lanes would remain closed to keep <br />the project moving forward as fast as possible. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> questioned if staff was aware of when landscaping would be completed for this <br />project. He then asked for the completion date for this project. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson <br /> believed that seeding was part of the contract and noted that <br />th <br />the project would be substantially completed by June 10. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br /> did not believe that the traffic assistance from Ramsey County was <br />effective. He commented that there have been huge backups along Highway 96. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br /> recommended that staff speak with the County regarding the traffic at this <br />th <br />intersection and that alternatives be sought to address the traffic issues from now until June 10. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson <br /> indicated that Ramsey County would be completing a mill <br />and overlay project on Hamline Avenue from Highway 96 to County Road F. This work would <br />be completed in mid-May and no major backups are anticipated. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> questioned how Hamline Avenue would be striped after the road work <br />was completed. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson <br /> discussed that the lanes would be narrowed and the shoulder <br />size would increase, which would assist with access onto the road. Staff believed that this was the <br />best situation for the roadway. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes <br /> asked if Hamline Avenue would remain open during the mill and <br />overlay project. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson <br /> stated that this was the case. <br /> <br />Councilmember Werner <br /> questioned when the US10/Highway 96 signal would be operational. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson <br /> reported that the contractor has had several issues to address <br />th <br />and noted that the June 10 deadline would apply to this work. <br /> <br />4.
