ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—AUGUST 10, 2015 4 <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 /> Councilmember Holden asked how big the shoulders would be on the north and south sides of <br /> the roadway. <br /> Ms. Engum explained that the shoulders would be five feet wide. <br /> Councilmember Holden inquired how the City of Mounds View acquired federal funding for the <br /> project. <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 /> Mayor Grant discussed how traffic would flow through the roundabout and to the Spine Road. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned the capacity of the roundabout. <br /> Ms. Engum commented that the roundabout was designed to handle the full build out of TCAAP. <br /> Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. <br /> With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 7:38 p.m. <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/1-35W Interchange. <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 /> 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 /> The motion carried (5-0). <br /> 8. NEW BUSINESS <br /> None. <br /> 9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> None. <br /> 10. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />
