I do see that the figure needs to be revised to show your driveway. The driveway location <br />was recorded during the field survey, but was missed on the drawing. I have walked the portion of your driveway within <br />the right of way and can understand your concerns. <br /> <br />A trail extension south of Arden Place becomes increasingly more difficult, with terrain, drainage, trees, and driveway <br />challenges. Sightlines at your driveway crossing would certainly be considered if the project proceeds with Alternative <br />1. Based on City Council comments on Monday and past work sessions, staff will be focusing on a variation of <br />Alternative 2, with the travel lanes shifted east by two feet and providing a 10-ft wide shoulder on the west side of <br />Snelling Avenue. <br /> <br />I have made a note of your comments in the project file. Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss this more. <br /> <br /> <br />Todd A.

We listened to the update on <br />the project in the Arden Hills City Council meeting last night (12/21) and it sounds like the most likely option will be to <br />find a solution within the existing road footprint (more closely aligned to Alternative 2). There was a comment that it <br />would be fairly easy to add a trail from County Rd E to Arden Place due to the existing curb and from Arden Place to <br />Skiles Lane due to the fact that the trail would jog away from the road and not impact drainage. While we are supportive
