<br />D~:~ <br />=- <br /> <br /> <br />Arden Hills <br />Interstate 694, Highway 10 and County Road 96 <br />Preliminary Design Issues and Position <br /> <br />The City has three separate projects that are being studied and have potential impacts on residents: <br /> <br />1. Interstate 694, 35E to 35W - MnDOT Project <br /> <br />2. Grade separation of Highway lO and County Road 96 - Ramsey County project <br /> <br />3. Preservation offull access between Highway 10 and County Road 96 through development <br />of an interchange that includes access to TCAAP from Highway 10 - City project <br /> <br />Projects #2 and #3 above are intertwined due to issues of continuing to provide local access to <br />residents between two major roadways. In order to progress these two (2) projects further to <br />preliminary design, the City wanted to provide guidance to the appropriate entities that are <br />undertaking the design process to assure that the City's issues and concerns are addressed. In <br />addition, the City wanted to be assured that noise issues would be reviewed and mitigation plans <br />prepared to address all three projects. <br /> <br />MNDOT PROJECT <br /> <br />I. INTERSTATE 694 - 35E TO 35W PROJECT <br /> <br />MnDOT is undertaking a study for widening Interstate 694 into a six (6) lane freeway <br />between 35E and 35W. <br /> <br />o DESIGN CONSTRAINT #1 <br /> <br />Review noise impacts to residential areas located south of County Road 96 and <br />provide mitigation options. <br /> <br />o CITY PERSPECTIVE <br /> <br />The City is concerned that noise levels may increase for these neighborhoods over <br />time. The City understands that MnDOT is undertaking a noise study for this area as <br />an extension of the Interstate 694 study. The City would like to review mitigation <br />measures to see if noise can be reduced through noise walls, landscaping and/or <br />paving materials. The City understands that if the noise levels do not meet <br />MnDOT's standards for mitigation, the City would be financially responsible if they <br />wanted to provide mitigation. <br />
