The City’s Capital Improvement <br />Plan identifies improvements to Old Snelling Avenue from County Road E to Highway 51 to <br />address deteriorated pavement conditions. The City’s capital plan and County’s transportation <br />improvement program also identify reconstruction of the intersection at County Road E and Old <br />Snelling Avenue to improve safety and traffic operations. <br /> <br />An open house informational meeting for the project was held on October 17, 2019 to provide an <br />opportunity for residents to review initial concept drawings and provide input for the project. <br />The open house meeting was well attended by approximately 50 people providing many valuable <br />questions and comments. <br /> <br />This project update is being sent to residents near the project area to provide information <br />regarding the anticipated project schedule. The project was initially planned for construction in <br />the 2020 or 2021 time frame. However, Ramsey County will be reconstructing Lexington <br />Avenue between County Road E and I-694 in 2021. Major improvements to Old Snelling <br />Avenue and County Road E during the same time line as construction along Lexington Avenue <br />would be difficult for local traffic, particularly given current road work underway along I-35W. <br /> <br />The Old Snelling Avenue project has been rescheduled for the 2022 construction season. This <br />schedule will allow additional time for planning the project and additional opportunity for public <br />input during the design process. The City and County will work together to align the proposed <br />improvements at the intersection of Old Snelling Avenue and County Road E on this same <br />construction schedule. <br /> <br />All residents are encouraged to visit the project website to stay updated on the project.
