is 65 decibels. Based on MnDOT's scoring, the selected area did not score high enough to receive a <br />noise wall. The estimated cost for a noise wall at the time was $2,700,000, equating to a cost to the <br />City of $270,000. It can be assumed the cost in today's dollars is closer to $3,000,000 with a <br />$300,000 City cost. <br />Highway 51 and Glenhill Area <br />hapel© <br />0 . <br />Johanna Marsh Park <br />Halle <br />\\ 1 <br />Knutson Hall <br />01,aWl R'' <br />Wooc <br />This area was not part of previous noise study, but did have a noise measurement taken coming in at <br />67.1 decibels, which is also over the threshold. Since it was not part of a previous study, we do not <br />have a cost estimate for this section, but MnDOT did note a short wall here likely isn't cost effective, <br />and a longer wall would require cooperation with Roseville as it would likely stretch into their City. <br />The actual application for a future noise wall is simple to complete, but would require a resolution of <br />support from the City Council. Should the City decide to submit an application, MnDOT will then <br />update noise studies for the areas of the submitted applications and based on their criteria will score <br />each application. It will be important should the Council want Staff to submit an application to give <br />direction on the area(s) it would like to submit for. <br />Budget Impact <br />Assuming a cost to the City of $300,000, there is not currently money set aside for a 2029 noise <br />wall. The projected balance for the PIR fund is below, you'll note it could absorb $300,000 but other <br />projects may need to be cut or new projects not added in the future. The City may pursue other <br />funding mechanisms, such as, assessments, too. <br />w <br />$2.5 <br />c <br />° $2.0 <br />$1.5 <br />$1.0 <br />$0.5 ■ <br />$0.0 <br />-a.5 <br />2024 2025 2026 2027 2D28 2029 <br />Attachment <br />N/A <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
