(612) 636-0553 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Febuary 1, 2001 <br /> <br />Dear Arden Manor Residents, <br /> <br /> <br />In 1995, the Minnesota legislature requested the Minnesota Department of Transportation <br /> <br /> <br />(MNDOT) to survey noise conditions along freeways and expressways inside incorporated areas <br /> <br /> <br />in Minnesota and develop plans to cost effectively implement noise mitigation measures. <br /> <br /> <br />The study identified fifty-four (54) priority areas and ranked the segment of 35W from <br /> <br /> <br />Highway 96 north to the railroad bridge as being the fifth worst .in the state. Subsequently, <br /> <br /> <br />a funding plan was put in place to schedule noise wall construction projects with the tmp <br /> <br /> <br />seven metro priority areas. <br /> <br />MNDOT has scheduled an approximate 2000 foot long noise wall to be constructed along 35W <br /> <br /> <br />(the western boundary of Arden Manor Park) at a cost of $400,000.00 during the summer of <br /> <br /> <br />2001. The wooden noise wall would be constructed about fifteen (15) feet west of the exist~. <br /> <br /> <br />ing (and remaining) chain link fence and range in elevation from. twelve (12) to fifteen (15) <br /> <br /> <br />feet high. MNDOT has already.discussed preliminary plans with the owners of Arden Manor <br /> <br /> <br />Park and we have indicated our full support for this project. We believe that this improve- <br /> <br />Ament has been long needed and will improve the quality of life for. our <br /> <br /> <br />,.., The purpose of this letter is to inform the Arden Manor residents of <br /> <br />park residents. <br />this proposed improve- <br /> <br />ment and ask that you forward comments of either opposition or support to the City of.Arden <br /> <br />Hills by Febuary 16, 2001. The City of Arden Hills must communicate its support by reso- <br /> <br /> <br />lution to MNDOT before March 1, 2001 to allow the improvement to proceed. Your attention <br /> <br />to this matter would be most appreciated. <br /> <br />Very Truly Yours, <br />Arden Manor Park Owners <br /> <br />cc: City of Arden Hills <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />--- ""~. ~.'. <br />F ~..c; ... l} ~: ___: <br />
