AGENDA ITEMS A. County Road E and Old Snelling Intersection Improvements Discussion Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated Ramsey County and Engineering Consultant, SRF, will be presenting an update to the construction staging options and estimated project costs. At the previous Special Work Session on September 12, 2022 the design team discussed two options for construction staging, of which, Council chose option to maintain traffic moving through the intersection as much as possible. Since that meeting, through discussions with private utilities, it is now known that there will be considerable underground relocations that will require closures at the intersection for a duration of time. With that information, SRF has developed another staging plan to utilize those closures with the construction of the roundabout. The closures will affect the North and the South legs while maintaining the East/West movement throughout the project. The design team is requesting input from Arden Hills City Council. Regardless of how Council chooses to move forward with this project, the City's utilities need improvement. Mayor Grant requested the consultants first speak to the Council regarding the budget for this project.
