MnDOT has not favorably <br />received the original ramp option recommended by the City. <br /> <br />Jim Tolaas, Ramsey County Public Works Project Manager, will be in attendance at Monday's <br />meeting for the purpose of presenting a frontage road option that has been preliminarily <br />approved by MnDOT. Approximately 400 notices were sent out to residences affected by the <br />Highway 96 and Highway 10 project. <br /> <br />Staff has enclosed copies ofthe original ramp option, and the frontage road option, for City <br />Council review. <br /> <br />Issues of Consideration <br />Each of the options has numerous positive and negative impacts on the community. Some of the <br />key impacts to consider are: <br /> <br />1. Oril!inal Ramn Ontion <br />. Length of time to secure property from Federal Govermnent for northbound ramp <br />. Lack of stacking capacity on left turn lane to Old Highway 10 <br />. Long-term ability to keep various curb cuts onto Highway 10 is a MnDOT decision <br />. Design encourages a more Arden Hills-friendly design <br /> <br />2. Fronta!!e Road <br />. Stacking capacity in left turn lane onto Old Highway 10 is enhanced by elimination of <br />northbound ramp <br />. Plan includes and identifies long-term future interchange into arsenal in the general <br />location of the Big 10 Supper Club <br />. Realignment offrontage road at Old Highway 10 appears to need further consideration <br />. Additional six (6) homes are potentially relocated <br />. It strengthens the concept that U.S. 10 is simply an off-ramp ofI-35W <br />. Impact on additional mobile homes, Big Ten Supper Club, and Scherer Brothers still <br />needs to be determined <br />
