DATE: April 18, 2016 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Susan Iverson, Acting City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: John Anderson, Acting Public Works Director <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Interstate 694 Non-Motorized Crossing Study <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Provide Staff with feedback on the City Council’s desired course of action. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />As MnDOT was preparing plans to reconstruct the I-694 and TH 51 interchange, the City of <br />Arden Hills asked if a trail could be extended along the Hamline Avenue / TH 51 corridor. This <br />proved to be not feasible for a number of reasons but lead to the larger question of where were <br />logical locations for non-motorized crossings along the I-694 corridor in Arden Hills. MnDOT <br />began a study to answer this question. Shortly after commencing the study, other neighboring <br />communities were asking the same question which lead to expanding the study to include a <br />larger area bounded by Silver Lake Road to the west and TH 120 to the east. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />The Study has been completed and representatives from MnDOT presented the report to the City <br />Council at the March 21st City Council Worksession. The Council requested that staff look back <br />at the details of the original Municipal consent agreement with MnDOT. Attached are <br />documents related to the municipal consent. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Attachment A: May5, 2011 Arden Hills Letter <br />Attachment B: May 5, 2011 MnDOT letter <br />Attachment C: June 2, 2011 Municipal Consent <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM – 1D <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
