Addressing the concerns of the City prior to the hearing should allow for a more effective meeting. Traffic redistribution There is concern that removal of access to/from Hamline Ave will add to the existing stress that exists on the local roadway system, particularly at signalized intersections in the area. Mn/DOT is in the process of modeling the intersection of Lexington Ave and County Road F. The preliminary results are showing that the change in access at Hamline Ave is not degrading the level of service of the intersection of Lexington and County Road F. A more detailed explanation should be available on Monday August 9, 2010. The improvements that Mn/DOT will be making to I-694/TH 10/TH 51 will address an existing safety problem. The existing crash rate for 694 from Lexington Ave to Snelling Ave is 4.5 with a severity rate of 5.6 (2009 data). The standard crash rate for a freeway segment is 1.0 and the standard severity rate is 1.2. Mn/DOT estimates that with the improvements being made to I-694 in the area of TH 10/Snelling Ave, the crash rate and severity rate should be much more in alignment with the standard rates. An �q��� C��p�r��r�i�y ���loyer Pedestrian improvements The City has talked with Mn/DOT regarding pedestrian access throughout the project area. in addition, the Council did pass a resolution supporting the inclusion of pedestrian safe infrastructure as a part of the project. Mn/DOT has taken a proactive approach in trying to address the pedestrian issue in this area. Crossing I-694 on the Hamline/TH 51 bridge does present situations that are not safe for pedestrians. These situations require pedestrian to cross traffic headed into two separate entrance loops or crossing a high speed connection from I-694 to TH 51. In addition to these concerns, a pedestrian trail that follows TH 51 would require either crossing a RR track at grade, which the RR would not be in favor of, or crossing under the RR track which would require the reconstruction of the RR bridge in order to accommodate the addition of a trail under it. The City would like to participate in the construction of a segment of sidewalk from Floral Drive to County Road F. Mn/DOT is willing to work with the City on the construction of this sidewalk as long as no right of way is required as a part of the construction. If right of way is needed, the process of purchasing the land would cause the project to be delayed. In this situation, Mn/D4T would have to work with the City in a different way on this construction. Mn/DOT will work with city staff in designing a sidewalk that will be included in the construction plans. The layout does not clearly show any intersection control at the intersection of Hamline Ave and County Road F. Mn/D4T has been analyzing the appropriate control for this location. A roundabout, standard signal and a green tee signal were all being evaluated and a signal will be installed as a part of the construction project. The signal will be shown on the distribution copy of the layout upon the completion of the municipal consent process. As CSAH 76 is slated for a future trail, Mn/D4T has designed the typical section for CSAH 76 to allow for 10' from the end of the slope paving to the back of curb for a sidewalk on the west side. There is also an 8' shoulder on both sides of the roadway for bicyclists to use. Noise �r� �qu�� C�p����tu�it�y �n�pl�y�� As a part of the Noise Advisory Committee (NAC), Mn/DOT analyzed the noise walls for the entire project. While some walls were determined to be reasonable (reduce the noise by a minimum of 5dBA), no walls were determined to be cost effective. The City is interested in the consideration of a 20' high noise barrier along the north side of the west bound C/D road. The total cost of this wall is approximately $1,525,000. Mn/DOT is willing to participate up to $3250 per decibel per benefiting property. This means that the City could request that Mn/D�T construct this wall. In doing so, Mn/DOT would contribute approximately $1,050,000 and the City would be required to pay the remaining cost, approximately $475,000. These costs are based on the most cost effective wall construction. Mn/DOT appreciates the City of Arden Hills commitment to reduce congestion on I-694, TH 96 and the local roadway system within the City of Arden Hills. The improvements shown on the layout will allow for the traffic in this region to experience improved travel as well as prepare for a future expansion of mainline I-694 to the east. If you have any additional questions or if you need any further explanation of these issues ahead of the public hearing on August 9, 2010, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Mark J.
