ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – AUGUST 10, 2015 4 <br /> <br />Ms. Engum provided clarification on the plans noting that some of the pink lines were the creek <br />realignment, while others were trail segments. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked how big the shoulders would be on the north and south sides of <br />the roadway. <br /> <br />Ms. Engum explained that the shoulders would be five feet wide. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden inquired how the City of Mounds View acquired federal funding for the <br />project. <br /> <br />Ms. Engum reported that this was a very dangerous intersection in Mounds View and as such, it <br />required signals which greatly assisted Mounds View in receiving federal dollars. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant discussed how traffic would flow through the roundabout and to the Spine Road. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned the capacity of the roundabout. <br /> <br />Ms. Engum commented that the roundabout was designed to handle the full build out of TCAAP. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. <br /> <br />With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:38 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember McClung moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a <br />motion to adopt Resolution #2015-039, granting Municipal Consent for the <br />County Road H/I-35W Interchange. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned if there was a rush to approve this project, given the fact that <br />the County has put TCAAP on hold. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer stated that he had asked MnDOT that question and their <br />response was that the interchange would move forward due to needs of the interstate system <br />regardless of the status of TCAAP. <br /> <br />The motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br />8.
