ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—OCTOBER 23, 2017 6 <br /> quite close to this intersection. He anticipated that traffic at this intersection would only be on the <br /> rise. <br /> Ms. Reese reported this intersection was outside the limits of this project. She explained MnDOT <br /> looked at this area and there was less than a one decibel change between a build/no build <br /> situation. <br /> Mayor Grant requested MnDOT take a look at the actuals and not a forecasted model for this <br /> intersection. He stated traffic through his City was going to increase which means there would be <br /> more noise to the adjacent homeowners. <br /> Mr. Nelson stated MnDOT could measure the noise in this area. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if the noise volumes were based on actual speed or posted speed <br /> limits. <br /> Ms. Reese stated a variety of speeds were chosen and noted actual data was used when it differed <br /> from posted speed limits. She provided further comment on how the MnDOT worked to create a <br /> fairly represented traffic noise testing model. <br /> Mayor Grant commented on how the Highway 10/CR 96 flyover has become a favorite <br /> intersection for truckers. <br /> Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. <br /> Dave Cmeil, referenced his family's home located at 1861 West Highway 96, and thanked the <br /> Mayor for bringing his concerns regarding the intersection of Highway 10/County Road 96 to <br /> MnDOT's attention. He discussed the history of County Road 96 and commented on how this <br /> roadway has evolved into a freeway. He believed that it benefited MnDOT to move traffic <br /> through Arden Hills rather than accommodate Arden Hills. He encouraged the Council to <br /> consider the whole corridor and how it is affected prior to offering municipal consent. He <br /> believed noise abatement throughout the entire corridor should be considered. <br /> Mary Remmers, 3160 Ridgewood Road, discussed how traffic from Highway 10/County Road <br /> 96 was spilling off onto Snelling Avenue at speeds of 70 miles per hour. She requested this be <br /> further patrolled by the Ramsey County. She wanted to see more noise abatement measures taken <br /> along the County Road 96 corridor given the high level and speed of traffic. She anticipated that <br /> traffic in the area has doubled, along with the noise. <br /> Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. <br /> Mayor Grant explained the Council would be taking no action on this item this evening, but was <br /> simply holding a Public Hearing to take public comment. <br /> B.
