The event will be very similar, in terms of information presented and <br />the land use exercise, to the September 17, 2013, TCAAP open house. Depending on the outcome of <br />the Land O’Lakes event, additional on-site master planning activities may be scheduled at major local <br />employers in winter/spring 2014. <br /> <br />Kimley-Horn is working on analysis and pre-design work for the County Road H and Highway 96 <br />intersections with I-35W related to the contract amendment requested by Ramsey County. City and <br />County staff and consultants have met to discuss design options and their advantages and challenges <br />related to traffic capacity, cost, MnDOT requirements, and development needs. The consultants are <br />refining the options based on staff input prior to presentation to MnDOT and FHWA for further <br />comment. <br /> <br />Gateway Planning, Kimley-Horn’s subconsultant for the regulations and policies, has met with staff and <br />consultants to discuss the City’s existing policies and consider which regulations or policies may need to <br />be amended for TCAAP. Work on the regulations and policies will accelerate as details of the Master <br />Plan emerge in late 2013 and early 2014. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM 9 <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
