The <br />Municipal consent process requires a public hearing be held on the improvement. Staff has <br />advertised notice of public hearing as required by law. No public comments have been received as <br />of July 21, 2016. After the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council has 90 days to take action <br />on the request for Municipal Consent.

He reported this project <br />would occur from Highway 36 to Lexington Avenue. The MNPASS lane would be added to the <br />center lane in each direction. All lanes of traffic would be reconstructed in concrete. He estimated <br />the project would cost $208 million. MnDOT had an $80 million shortfall at this time and would <br />continue to pursue federal funding. He hoped MnDOT would be able to begin the project in the <br />spring of 2019. The project scope for I -35W was reviewed in further detail with the Council. <br />
