<br />. Residents asked about tbe status of Interstate 694 improvements, and <br />wbether or not noise barriers would be included in the project. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />There are no preliminary designs for the Arden Hills section of 694 at this point. <br />This section is currently programmed for 2012 so plans will not be developed for <br />a few more years. It is unlikely that noise barriers will be included in the project, <br />as they are difficult to get approved. <br /> <br />. Some residents asked about the Lexington Avenue reconstruction project. It <br />was asked whether or not stop lights at Victoria would be included in the <br />project. <br /> <br />Lexington Avenue from just north of Cummings Park Drive to Highway 96 will <br />be reconstructed in 2005. Current plans call for a stop light at Victoria. There <br />will be a neighborhood meeting at 6:00 on December 2. <br /> <br />. A few residents expressed concern about access to and from Keithson <br />Avenue to Highway 96. One concern is the grade difference between the <br />north and south lanes, especially in the winter. <br /> <br />. A resident asked about the landscape plans for the Ramsey County Joint <br />Maintenance Facility. <br /> <br />. Several residents asked about the status of improvements to Interstate 3SW, <br />Highway 96, and Highway 10. A resident inquired as to whether sound walls <br />would be included if and when Highway 10 is reconstructed or improved. <br />Another asked about timing for these projects. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. Many concerns were yo iced regarding Hamline Avenue. These concerns <br />include traffic volume and pedestrian crossing safety. Another concern is <br />that there is a double turn lane on Highway 96 turning onto HamIine. It is <br />already difficult to access HamIine from the neighborhoods and will now be <br />more difficult. It was suggested that stop signs 'be put along Hamline. <br /> <br />Ramsey County has agreed to put a "No Turn on Red" requirement on 96 turning <br />onto Hamline, which will hopefully create gaps for those needing to turn onto <br />Hamline from neighborhood streets. <br /> <br />. A resident askcd about the status of an ice rink at Cummings Park this <br />winter. <br /> <br />. A few residents asked about the status of North Heights Church expansion <br />plans. <br /> <br />.
