Ms. Barton stated that she would have comment cards available for open house attendees to submit
their comments. Completed comments cards would be collected and the comments recorded.
Mayor Harpstead suggested that comment cards be photocopied before forwarded to HGKi.
Mr. Sloboden provided a hand out of the Monday, April 2nd open house presentation for Council
and Staffto review. The intent tonight was to flesh out and determine the access needs of Highway
10 and CSAH 96 by reviewing the functional access for the existing Arden Hills and how TCAAP
related to that. A series of exhibits were provided that addressed each area around the 10/96
interchange.
The main issues identified at the last work session were environmental, access, mobility and
community concerns. Mr. Sloboden provided slides of each quadrant around the 10/96
intersection. Each quadrant slide showed unique characteristics: southeast - Old Highway 10
being the key linkage to the rest of Arden Hills; southwest - regional traffic on local roads;
northeast - access to the TCAAP development; northwest - the impact of regional improvements
on the current land use.
