ResidentIProperty Owner: <br /> <br />Ramsey County and the City of Arden Hills have been working with the Minnesota Department of Transportation <br />to develop plans for the reconstruction of Highway 96 from l.3SW to Lexington Avenue. Several alternatives <br />have been evaluated with respect to local and regional needs. Many of these alternatives have been presented to <br />the public at previous meetings and refined further based on public comment. Common design elements include: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Urban section <br />Concrete curb and gutter <br />Concrete pavement <br />Two through lanes in ea.c:h direction <br />Eight foot shoulders <br />Left and right turn lanes <br />Storm sewers and storm water treatment ponds <br />Signals at major intersections <br />Landscaped medians and boulevards <br /> <br />. <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />-- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The most challenging issues identified in this segment have been in the area between 1-3SW and US Highway 10. <br />ConflicTS with Round Lake, improved commercial access, property impa.cts to Arden Manor Mobile Home Park, <br />traffic capacity, and accesS for furore development of the Twin City Army and Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) site <br />have been addressed in the design process. <br /> <br />The current "Preferred Alternate" includes a grade separation at Highway 96 and US Highway 10. This will <br />provide improved capa.city and safety over the existing at grade intersection. Early versions of this design <br />maintained local access via ramps on the north side of the interchange. A more recent version includes <br />construction of a frontage road along the west side of US Highway lOin lieu of Tamp provisions. <br /> <br />Ramsey County and the City of Arden Hills would like to share recent revisions with area property owners before <br />approving a preferred alternate for final design. A public information rneeting will be held as part of the June 28 <br />Arden Hills City Council Meeting at the Arden Hills City Hall. The Highway 96 discussion will begin at <br />approximately 7:30 PM. Vour participation can help ensure all view points are considered in that decision. <br /> <br />Call me at 484-9104 if you have questions or comments before the meeting. <br /> <br />Sillcerely Yours, <br /> <br />-- <br />- .... <br /> <br /> <br />~~ <br /> <br />s E.
