<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION - March 17, 2008 <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />Mr. Benson stated that signalizing the TCAAP intersections would be similar to the volumes <br />and operation of the signal at County Road 96 and highway 10. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead questioned if the volume for turning traffic was taken into consideration for <br />TCAAP and County Road 96. He asked that they have better numbers to use in looking forward <br />at the project. He explained that the 2030 volumes would create a turning hazard entering onto I- <br />694. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung requested numbers for the Highway 10 diagonal for 2030 which <br />relate to turning. He eXplained that some current turns will not be possible in the future. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding future road use. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes commented that she would like a design constraint to be to compare <br />the cost of a signalized intersection and a diamond interchange. She commented that the City <br />perspective should include a consideration of costs, timing, and phasing options. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung commented that he agrees with adding a request for costs of various <br />options for design constraint number one. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden commented that they would like the project as far north as possible. <br /> <br />Ms. Kvilvang stated that they would look at the alignment to see what is possible. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated that this would depend on stacking up to I-35 and will be <br />reviewed. <br /> <br />Ms. Kvilvang suggested including in design constraint number 4 a review of costs associated <br />with realigning Highway 10 so that it is spelled out. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead asked if the position paper is ready to come before Council on the 31 st. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the City Council to direct Staff to prepare this to go before City Council <br />on the 31st. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead asked if anyone else present would like to respond. <br /> <br />Kristi Effinger, 1969 Banyon Street asked if an email with comments from another resident <br />about a conversation with MnlDOT was included in the comments. <br /> <br />Ms. Kvilvang stated that the comments have been forwarded. <br /> <br />AI Hilgers of 1536 Briarknoll Drive asked what factors are involved in the criteria MN/DOT <br />looks at compared to the study done 20 years ago. He stated that there are differences and would <br />like Council to look at it. <br />
