CITY PROJECT RI........ U III. Preserve full access for residents between Highway 10 and County Road 96 through development of an interchange that includes access to TCAAP from Highway 10 The City supports providing full access for residents between these roadways and access to the TCAAP site from Highway 10. However, the City is of the opinion that the following three aspects need to be further resolved: l. Number of entrance/exit ramps that need to be constructed for the interchange and when 2. How to provide safe access for Scherer Brothers 3. Can or should Highway lObe realigned to move the interchange further northeast The City understands that construction of a full interchange will need to be shown on plans but would like the ability to review timing and phasing options for the project. o DESIGN CONSTRAINT #1 Review phasing option to see if all four entrance/exit ramps on a new diamond interchange are needed and provide timing and phasing of project. o CITY PERSPECTIVE City would like to preserve local access for residents while minimizing impacts to the residential and business community located within the "triangle" area. The City would like to review timing of when the south bound Highway 10 exit ramp into TCAAP would be needed, if at all. o DESIGN CONSTRAINT #2 Review to determine how safe access for Scherer Brothers can be provided in the interim and long-term based upon phasing plan for the interchange. o CITY PERSPECTIVE City would like to provide safe access while minimizing impacts to Arden Manor. This could include interim solution of direct access until the exit ramp is possibly needed (right in, right out), moving the access road closer to Highway 10 if the south bound exit ramp is not needed initially and moving the access road which leads onto the new diamond interchange as far northeast towards the southbound Highway 10 exit ramp as possible. o DESIGN CONSTRAINT #3 Review costs associated with realigning Highway 10 further northeast. o CITY PERSPECTIVE City would like to minimize impacts to Arden Manor, but needs to be assured project solution is cost effective. City would like to review costs of realignment, beginning and terminus of realignment, impacts to property further south of County Road 96 and quality of existing roads to determine if they are in need of replacement. Realignment could include a few options such as moving the south lane further north, moving both lanes further north (but within MnDOT ROW) or moving both lanes further north onto the TCAAP site.
